Up Island Harbor

**With all the seaside charm and small-town heart that have made fans of Debbie Macomber and Elin Hilderbrand fall in love with her Martha's Vineyard-set novels, Jean Stone transports readers to a picturesque side of the island rarely visited by tourists, as an archeology professor inherits a quaint cottage that will change her life forever

She's coming back to the home she didn't know she had . . .**

The quaint, historic fishing village of Menemsha is a side of Martha's Vineyard that tourists don't always see. Maddie Clarke's late mother was born on the Vineyard, and Maddie hazily recalls childhood visits to her Grandma Nancy's cottage above Menemsha Harbor. Now divorced with a teenage son, Maddie is awaiting news of a tenureship at her Massachusetts college when a letter arrives that could change everything . . .

It turns out Grandma Nancy didn't die long ago, as Maddie believed. In fact, Nancy just passed away at 89and left Maddie her gray-shingled cottage. Maddie intends her visit to Martha's Vineyard to be a brief one, just long enough to settle the estate and sell the cottage. But on arriving in Menemsha, she finds far more than memories . . .

There are other family secrets waiting to be uncovered, and a Native American heritage Maddie knew nothing about. Most surprising of all, there is the glimmer of a very different futurea chance to connect with her people and find herself, and perhaps find love, on this beautiful, celebrated island . . .
