An inheritance tied to hidden family history

Kit Porterfield’s unexpected inheritance brings her to a rustic campground in Maine—and into a history her late mother kept hidden. As Kit encounters the town’s past and works to restore the lakeside property, old photographs and the story of a lasting love offer clues to the rupture between two sisters. The campground gives her a reason to stay, but the questions reach beyond the inheritance: uncovering what happened may help Kit make sense of both her mother’s life and her own. Family secrets, restoration, and the possibility of forgiveness shape this novel’s intertwining of personal upheaval with a search into the past.

Book overview

A woman's surprising inheritance opens the door to her family's secrets in a moving novel about healing, forgiveness, and second chances by New York Times bestselling author Mariah Stewart.

Kit Porterfield is coping with the upheaval of her personal life when another shock blindsides her. Maxine Meadows, an aunt she never knew existed, has bequeathed to her a rustic campground in Maine. With it comes a long-buried family secret that Kit's late mother took great pains to hide for her entire life.

When Kit arrives to tenuously claim her inheritance, she learns the town's history and finds the lakeside sporting camp and its beautiful wooded acres in need of restoration to their former glory. But it's Kit's own history that compels her to stay, and she's not returning home until she uncovers the secrets that tore two sisters apart so many years ago.

Kit soon discovers clues in old photographs and in the tale of a tragic and enduring love story, but the most startling revelations are yet to come. For Kit, they could be the path to understanding the mystery that defined her mother's life--and her own.
