In a beautiful New England beach town, three sisters rediscover what it means to be a family in this heartfelt novel by the author of Seashell Season.
When Poppy Higgins left Yorktide, Maine, for Boston, she pictured future visits home as brief diversions from her real life in the big city. But fate had different ideas. At twenty-five, Poppy is back in Yorktide to care for her two teenage sisters following their father's death.
Sixteen-year-old Daisy resents Poppy's long absence and chafes under her fumbling efforts to be a parent. Violet, now thirteen, is a virtual stranger to her oldest sister. The once happy family now seem adrift, and Poppy longs to escape her responsibilities. But when the sisters meet Evie, an enigmatic newcomer to Yorktide, the young woman will be an unlikely catalyst in their journey back to each other. For as Poppy discovers the deep loss in Evie's life, she awakens to the truth about her own—and about the home she tried to leave behind.

      When pretty Poppy Higgins's beloved mother passed away, she left her hometown of Yorkside, ME, with her two younger sisters, Daisy and Violet, staying behind to grow up with their father. When dad dies of a sudden heart attack, Poppy returns to Yorkside as the guardian of the 13- and 16-year-old girls. While Poppy struggles with being an authority figure to siblings she hasn't seen in years, feisty Daisy resents her sister's attempt to take over the parenting position. Violet, who has spent little time with her oldest sister, tries to figure out how to support Poppy in her role as provider while dealing with the death of both parents. The sisters' lives change when they meet runaway Evie, who suffered her own devastating losses and helps to bring perspective to the struggling Higgins clan. VERDICT Chamberlin's (The Family Beach House) latest is a great summer read but with substance. It will find a wide audience in its exploration of sisterhood, family, and loss.--Brooke Bolton, North Manchester P.L., IN
