Description
A poignant novel about the power of facing the past and embracing second chances. In 1951, Betty Stern was an 18-year-old beauty queen with her whole life ahead of her. Working at her grandparents' lakeside resort, she prepared for college in New York City and a career as a fashion editor. But before that, she had one last summer to enjoy the beach, fall deeply in love, and compete in the annual Miss South Haven pageant. Decades later, Betty's granddaughter comes to her with a dilemma that echoes memories of first love, broken hearts, and faraway dreams. As Boop confronts the choices of her past, she must reconcile the life she once imagined with the one she's lived. In doing so, she may discover it's never too late for a second chance at happiness.
