When her grandmother’s will wrenches
Sara back home, she learns more about Margaret Van Buren in the wake of her
death than she ever knew in life.
After her last remaining family
member dies, Sara Jenkins goes home to The Hideaway, her grandmother Mags’s
ramshackle B&B in Sweet Bay, Alabama. She intends to quickly tie up loose
ends then return to her busy life and thriving antique shop in New Orleans.
Instead, she learns Mags has willed The Hideaway to her and charged her with
renovating it—no small task considering her grandmother’s best friends, a
motley crew of senior citizens, still live there.
Rather than hurrying back to New
Orleans, Sara stays in Sweet Bay and begins the biggest house-rehabbing project
of her career. Amid drywall dust, old memories, and a charming contractor, she
discovers that slipping back into life at The Hideaway is easier than she
expected.
Then she discovers a box Mags left
in the attic with clues to a life Sara never imagined for her grandmother. With
help from Mags’s friends, Sara begins to piece together the mysterious life of
bravery, passion, and choices that changed her grandmother’s destiny in both
marvelous and devastating ways.
When an opportunistic land developer
threatens to seize The Hideaway, Sara is forced to make a choice—stay in Sweet
Bay and fight for the house and the people she’s grown to love or leave again
and return to her successful but solitary life in New Orleans.
