Summer light on Nantucket : a novel / Nancy Thayer.

Summary:

"Blythe Benedict is content. Her life didn't end when her marriage did. In fact, she's more than happy living in her comfortable house in Boston, working as a middle school teacher, and raising four wonderful children. With three of her kids in the throes of teenagerhood and one not too far behind them, Blythe has plenty of drama to keep her busy every single day. But no amount of that drama could change the family's beloved annual summer trip to Nantucket. Blythe has always treasured the months spent at her island home-away-from-home, and has fond memories of her children growing up there. But this summer's getaway proves to be much more than she bargained for. Yes, there are sunny days enjoyed at the beach. But Blythe must contend with teenage angst, her ex-mother-in-law's declining health, and a troubling secret involving her ex-husband. Meanwhile, Blythe reconnects with her first love, her former high school sweetheart Aaden. But their second-time-around romance becomes complicated when another intriguing man enters the picture. It's all a bit out of Blythe's comfort zone. This particular island summer may not be as relaxing as Blythe had hoped, but she's never felt that life has given her more than she can handle--especially when she has the love and support of her family around her."-- Provided by publisher.
