On sale May 4, Hostin makes her literary debut with this dazzling novel about a life-changing summer along the beaches of Martha's Vineyard.
Welcome to Oak Bluffs, the most exclusive black beach community in the country. This picturesque town hugging the sea is a mecca for the crème de la crème of black society.
Thirty years ago, Amelia Vaux Tanner and her husband built a cottage they named Chateau Laveau. For decades, “Ama” played host to American presidents, Wall Street titans, and cultural icons. But her favorite guests have always been her three “goddaughters”.
Growing up, these goddaughters from different backgrounds came together each summer at Chateau Laveau. As adults, the cottage is a place this trio goes to escape, slow down from their hectic lives, and share private time with Ama.
This summer, however, will be different. Ama is moving to the south of France. She has invited her goddaughters to spend one last golden summer together with her. And when fall comes, she is going to give the house to one of them.
Each of the women wants the house desperately. Each is grappling with a secret she fears will hurt her chances. By the end of summer, old ties will fray, new bonds will be created, and these three found sisters will discover they aren’t the only ones with something to hide.
