DESCRIPTION:
Families can be complicated. Jill Conroy is tricked by her sister into coming to Florida to help a friend and discovers the healing power of being away from her home and the heart-stopping memories of her deceased, emotionally abusive ex-husband. Soon the magic of the beach — and a little girl who needs her — heal Jill enough for her to decide to move to Florida permanently to make a new life. Her part-time work at a summer camp and the promise of a new job as a third-grade teacher in the fall make it seem as if her future is set. But a visit from her sister, followed by her mother, reveals secrets that surprise them all. Jill learns to accept the idea of love as the summer brings even more surprises, helping her become the person she’s meant to be.

Reviewed on Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub and others. Two typical reviews:
“Judith Keim at her best. I absolutely loved this book. I won’t go into the plot, characters, etc. That has been done already. For Judy’s fans, she manages to even have the characters dine at the restaurants at The Salty Key Inn. That was a very nice familiar surprise. As always, lots of good food throughout the book. I think this book will be the best of the summer/beach read.” —Amazon reader
“What an amazing book! ... The characters come to life and you soon know them. You share and understand both their pain and their joy. Anyone who has experienced a caustic relationship will relate intimately and may, perhaps, find the strength and inclination to begin healing their own scars." —Amazon reader
