Slowly and steadily, but as captivating as the waves, the story unfolded until I couldn’t stop reading. I was so enthralled by the story that I bought the audiobook, which allowed me to switch between the Kindle and my headphones and ensured that I was still doing my homework when I couldn’t bear to put the book down.

Depression-era families were excellent keepers of secrets, and the smaller and more closely knit the community, the more likely those secrets will never see the light of day. But when the grandmother who raised Ivy Neale allows her to have her cabin by the sea, family secrets of generations are slowly revealed.

Ruth Wheeler grew up in her parents’ resort town of Nags Head, NC. Edna and Jake have always been honest with Ruth about how they became her parents, thanks to a woman who left a baby wrapped in a pink blanket in one of the resort’s cabins in the dead of night.

Ivy Neale left Seaside Resort and Nags Head the day after she graduated from high school. Only after her grandmother Ruth’s death does Ivy return home. Ruth’s cabin is littered with decades of flotsam from the closed Seaside Resort and personal belongings collected throughout her life. As Ivy surveys the remnants of a bygone era, the mysteries of her family’s past begin to unravel, binding Ivy to the home she left behind in ways she never could have imagined.

Told primarily from the perspective of twelve-year-old Ruth and modern-day Ivy, we learn about pivotal events in the summer of 1950 that have a significant impact on Ivy’s life. With shipwrecks, ghosts, and summer vacationers, we find the family doing their best to support and protect each other in more ways than we can imagine.

Once again, this masterful narrator draws the reader in with a relaxed and comfortable style as he delivers information that will leave the reader hanging on his every word.

This two-timeline novel tells the story of Ruth in 1950 and her granddaughter Ivy’s story in 2022, centering on the Seaside Resort in Nags Head, North Carolina. Both timelines are very interesting and well written and fit together perfectly.

Ruth is 12 years old and lives in Nags Head. Her parents own a small motel and she works hard to keep the rooms clean and the tenants happy. She’s an only child and lonely, but this summer her 14-year-old cousin Tally came down from the mountains to help out at the Seaside Resort and they became friends with her. The summer of 1950 was complete at the Seaside Resort, and though Ruth and Tally work hard, they always find time for adventure. This summer is different from previous years: an old shipwreck washed up on the beach after a big storm. Also, Carlotta, a beautiful singer, comes to the hotel to be the entertainer for a few weeks.

Ivy has returned to the Outer Banks after her grandmother Ruth’s death. Her plan is to clean out Ruth’s house, sell the cabin, and go back to New York. She had left Nag’s head right out of high school, leaving behind her two best friends without explaining why she was leaving. She has not forgiven her for leaving them and she knows that she has to face them. After a big storm, the same shipwreck washes up on the beach and arouses great interest among the people of the area. As Ruth searches through her grandmother’s trash heaps, she finds some gems that help her understand the mystery of her grandmother’s early life.

Both Ruth and Ivy were braver and tougher than they thought. Both spent their childhood in the Spa and both try to discover secrets from past generations. Ruth wants to know who her biological mother is and she thinks she could be Carlotta. Ivy wants to find out about her grandmother’s life and discovers that Ruth left some clues in the piles of things that she had in her house. Ivy also has to deal with two old friends and a possible romance, as she is forced to choose between returning to New York or staying on the Outer Banks.

What could be better than a southern fiction novel to read on a cold, dreary winter’s day? Southern fiction is my favorite genre and I kinda missed the Mary Ellen Taylor books. She is now on my list of favorite southern authors and I will not miss another of her books in the future and plan to order some of her earlier books. This book is full of mysteries, family, lost friends and missed opportunities in two generations of the same family. If you like a great book with cute characters, don’t miss this book!
