Description
Catherine Wainwright flees her home in Dayton, Ohio after a scandal, and finds herself in correspondence with Oscar Williams, a childhood admirer. Desperate for a new life, she agrees to marry him, but soon discovers that the remote Galveston island, Texas is not what she expected.
As Catherine navigates her new life on the island, secrets of the past threaten to tear her and Oscar apart. Meanwhile, Nan Ogden, Oscar's housekeeper, struggles with feelings for Oscar that she cannot suppress. When a devastating storm hits, the women will be tested in ways they never thought possible.
This heart-wrenching story of love, loss, and buried secrets confirms Ann Weisgarber as one of the most compelling literary voices writing today.
