About this ebook

A message in a bottle. A small-town mystery. And a summer where life takes an unexpected turn.

Robyn Wright isn’t merely knocking on the door to middle age—she’s hammering on it with both fists.

And to make matters worse? Her boyfriend of more than a decade won’t seal the deal. Her former dream job is now barely paying the bills. Her eighty-year-old father is getting married again…to a woman young enough to be Robyn’s daughter.

Summer is approaching. And so is the time for a change.

When Robyn takes a part-time job as the companion to an elderly woman who lives in a beautiful harbor house on a small island off the coast, she’s expecting a few months of solitude and a chance to reset…until a walk on the beach uncovers a message in a bottle and a decades-long mystery that Robyn feels compelled to solve.

And in unraveling the story of the lost lovers from so long ago, she might just uncover a few surprises about herself along the way.

Sink your toes into the golden-sand beaches of Thistle Island, where strangers are friends, sunshine is plentiful, and the ocean is always just a few steps away. This feel-good small-town women’s fiction series is perfect for readers of all ages.

Ratings and reviews

A perceptive, inquisitive woman faces new challenges that compel her to move on and make the most of her life in this awakening and mysterious story set in picturesque surroundings!

This book is incomplete, the first in a series, not a complete story. This would have been nice to know before starting, since you have to purchase the next ones. But I liked where the story was headed before the cliffhanger.

I would have given a 5 ☆ (the story was sooo good!) but the book just ended in the middle of the story! You have to buy the second book to hopefully have closure.

About the author

Mia Kent is the author of clean, contemporary women’s fiction and small-town romance. She writes heartfelt stories about love, friendship, happily ever after, and the importance of staying true to yourself.

She’s been married for over a decade to her high school sweetheart, and when she isn’t working on her next book, she’s chasing around a toddler, crawling after an infant, and hiding from an eighty-pound tornado of dog love. Frankly, it’s a wonder she writes at all.
