Booksigning with Cape Cod Author Jill Meyer

Lucy Ellis hasn't set foot on Cape Cod since the summer she met Nate, her first love, the man she's spent nearly two decades trying to forget. When an unexpected encounter upends the life she's carefully built, she's drawn back to the foggy shores of her youth to confront the woman she used to be-and a past she never truly left behind.

Anna Hadley has spent eighteen years at the helm of a Cape Cod gem, the Beacon Inn, creating a space where locals and travelers alike gather at sunset to share wine. At the center of it all is Scarlett, the daughter she loves more than anything. But as Scarlett steps into adulthood, Anna realizes her carefully guarded secrets can't stay concealed forever.

As the lives of Lucy and Anna become increasingly intertwined, long-buried truths begin to surface. When Nate unexpectedly reenters Lucy's life, the past collides with the present, forcing both women to confront the enduring consequences of the risks they took in the name of love-and decide whether they're brave enough to choose hope over fear.

Set against the charm and nostalgia of the New England coast, this emotional, deeply moving novel explores first love, second chances, forgiveness, the beautiful complexity of motherhood, and the families we choose.

Author Jill Meyer is a wedding officiant, vow writer, and former inn-keeper on Cape Cod.
