Description:In this #1
bestselling page-turner a Nantucket novelist has one final summer to
protect her secrets while her loved ones on earth learn to live without
their golden girl.
On a perfect June day, Vivian Howe, author
of thirteen beach novels and mother of three nearly grown children, is
killed in a hit-and-run car accident while jogging near her home on
Nantucket. She ascends to the Beyond where she's assigned to a Person
named Martha, who allows Vivi to watch what happens below for one last
summer. Vivi also is granted three “nudges” to change the outcome of
events on earth, and with her daughter Willa on her third miscarriage,
Carson partying until all hours, and Leo currently “off again” with his
high-maintenance girlfriend, she’ll have to think carefully where to use
them.
From the Beyond, Vivi watches “The Chief” Ed Kapenash
investigate her death, but her greatest worry is her final book, which
contains a secret from her own youth that could be disastrous for her
reputation. But when hidden truths come to light, Vivi’s family will
have to sort out their past and present mistakes—with or without a nudge
of help from above—while Vivi finally lets them grow without her.
With
all of Elin’s trademark beach scenes, mouth-watering meals, and
picture-perfect homes, plus a heartfelt message—the people we lose never
really leave us—Golden Girl is a beach book unlike any other.
