Summer Island

Nora Bridge has built a career dispensing wisdom, a beloved radio advice host and newspaper columnist whose voice reaches millions. But Nora has a secret in her own past, and when a scandal threatens to expose it, her carefully built world begins to crack. An accident pulls her back into the orbit of her estranged daughter Ruby, a struggling comedian with plenty of unresolved anger toward the mother who once walked away. Forced together on the Pacific Northwest island where it all began, mother and daughter must finally confront the truth about their family, their choices, and the fragile possibility of forgiveness. From Kristin Hannah, the #1 bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Women, comes an early, deeply felt novel about mothers, daughters, and the long road back to each other.
