About this item
In this star-crossed short story from New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman, timing is everything as two sisters learn to let love follow its own path.
Isabel, the long-lost Gibson sister, is finally back home on Brinkley’s Island, Maine. Reunited with her sister Sophie and her niece Violet, she’s also found a special connection with Johnny Lenox. But despite the comfort of family and the charm of island life, Isabel’s happiness remains elusive.
Isabel and Johnny have set their wedding date three times, baked three wedding cakes, and invited the entire island to three parties, only to have each celebration thwarted by unforeseen disasters. With each failed attempt, Isabel starts to question whether their love is truly meant to be.
When family history resurfaces, haunting the Gibson sisters with old wounds and unresolved issues, Isabel realizes that if she wants to marry Johnny, she and Sophie must first confront the painful legacy of their past. The sisters must grapple with their personal struggles and family dynamics to understand what their future holds.
As Isabel and Sophie face their fears and reconcile their past, they come to realize that love and family are not about perfection but about navigating life’s unpredictable path together. With newfound clarity, Isabel and Johnny must decide if they’re willing to take a chance on love, regardless of the obstacles. In this poignant and hopeful tale, Hoffman's story explores the power of resilience and the beauty of embracing love in its imperfect form.
