A journey that could change lives starts when three generations of women decide to spend a summer at the Straits of Mackinac cottage.

Each of them will pursue their own journey during this little pocket of relaxation time, giving them the space needed to take some time off of regular life. One of the ladies in particular is keeping a secret that could end up changing all of their lives in the process.
Will she be able to make this an incredible summer that they all will remember fondly, or will they find out that their expectations of a relaxing regular summer with some time off of normal life has gone wildly astray? For their friends and their family, faith may end up being tested. Some of them may at last start to put the past behind them and start again.

Rachel Dunmara is a woman that is utterly out of options. So it is that she decides that she’s going to camp out at her deceased grandmother’s cottage, located on Mackinac Island. She’s just doing her best to figure out what’s going on in her life and hopes this time will allow her to find some new avenues to pursue.
Funnily enough, her childhood nemesis is located next door. Jack Welling is supervising the remodeling of the family home on the West Bluff. Rachel is able to get a job at a local coffee shop, but soon her new boss is pushing her to work as Jack’s assistant and thinks it would be a good second job for her. But will the two of them be able to heal their rift?
It’s going to be essential to talk things through if Rachel is going to work as this man’s assistant. Then there’s Kareen Parker. She has been widowed in the past year and is working through her grief. She comes back to the island so that she can share information she’s been holding onto for a long time with her son, as well as work on transitioning ownership of the resort to him.
Her grandson ends up making friend with Rachel, who has been banned by her family from having anything to do with the Parkers. This is a summer that could end up revealing many secrets. Does it have the power to help three families as well? Read this book to find out!
