LAST SUMMER ON SUNSET LANE

In this tender and touching new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Summer of Songbirds and the Peachtree Bluff series, a young woman discovers the love and family she has always longed for when she spends a life-changing summer restoring her grandparents' old house in North Carolina.

Present Day: When Keaton Smith loses her livelihood and her relationship in one fell swoop, she is desperate for a fresh start. So when her mother mentions that she needs someone to put her childhood home in Beaufort, North Carolina on the market - the home that Keaton didn't know existed until now - she jumps at the chance to leave New York and head south. Keaton's grandparents died in a tragic car accident before she was born, so she's eager to learn more about the grandparents she never had. But even though she has help from her charming next-door-neighbor and his precocious ten-year-old son, Keaton soon finds that she has more questions than answers.

1976: After meeting her adoring husband Townsend, Rebecca "Becks" Saint James abandoned the life she knew and never looked back. Forty years later, she's made a name for herself as the best hostess North Carolina has ever seen. Her annual "summer suppers" have become the stuff of legend, and locals and out-of-towners alike clamor for an invitation to her stunning historic home. But she's struggling behind the façade. Becks strives to make the lives of those around her as easy as possible, but this summer she is facing a dilemma that even she can't solve. And as the end of the season looms near, she is brought to a decision she never wanted to make.

As both Keaton and Becks face new challenges and new chapters, they are connected through time by the house on Sunset Lane, which has protected the secrets, hopes, and dreams of the women in their family for generations. For fans of The Summer of '69 and The Notebook, Last Summer on Sunset Lane explores the power of family, second chances, and the boundless nature of love.
