Description Advance Praise for THE Summer Cottage "Every now and then a new voice in fiction arrives to completely charm, entertain and remind us what matters.
One Cottage rule at a time, Adie Lou reclaims her own strength, history and joy by rediscovering the magic in every sunset and sandcastle..
But as the Cottage comes back to life, Adie Lou does, too, finding support in unexpected places and a new love story on the horizon.
Pushback from Saugatuck\'s contentious preservation society, costly surprises and demanding guests were not part of the plan.
She\'s determined not to let her husband\'s affair with a grad student reduce her to a clich , or to waste one more minute in a career she doesn\'t love, so it becomes clear what Adie Lou must do: rebuild her life and restore her Cottage shingle by shingle, on her terms.
But converting the beloved, weather-beaten structure into a bed-and-breakfast isn\'t quite the efficient home-reno experience she\'s seen on TV.
But despite the fact she\'s facing a broken marriage and empty nest, and middle age is looming in the distance, memories of happy childhoods on the beach give her reason for hope.
