Synopsis

Seven summers. Two families. One beach house. And a diary that holds all the secrets. As the fragile harmony of the Summer House begins to fracture, no one is more surprised than Tessa to find herself at the heart of the healing. In an unexpected twist, she becomes the bridge between two divided families—offering Crista a solution to her biggest problem. But can these adversaries join forces for the good of one little girl? Vivien’s latest client proves to be more than just difficult—the woman is yet another threat to the confidence Vivien’s been fighting to find. And when a charming stranger enters the picture, nothing is quite what it seems. Meanwhile, Tessa and Lacey take a cautious step toward trust as a long-held secret comes to light, forging a bond neither of them expected. As spring bursts into summer, the question remains: can they leave the rhythms of the past behind and learn to dance to a new beat, or will history keep them out of step with the future they really want?
