Summer Island

Summer Island, volume one of Kristin Hannah’s Summer Island series, is a poignant fiction novel about mother Nora and daughter Ruby. Nora left years ago to become a beloved radio host and columnist, while Ruby uses her as bitter comic material. A tabloid scandal and an accident bring Ruby home to write a tell-all and reluctantly care for the mother she hasn't spoken to in a decade.

Nora insists on a retreat to the family’s old waterfront house on Summer Island, filled with childhood memories. There, Ruby reunites with her first love and his brother, once inseparable friends whose hearts were broken that fateful summer. This tender novel from the multimillion-copy bestselling author of The Women explores the possibility of forgiveness and the lasting pull of home.
