She had the marriage. The house. The plan. Then her husband came home and blew it all apart. Julie is 43 years old, and the life she spent two decades building just crumbled in a single conversation. Her husband has a secret family. A different woman. A son she never knew about. Now the beach house they were supposed to share is gone. The future she counted on is gone. And Julie has to figure out who she is when everything she thought defined her disappears. So she does something she’s never done before. She starts over. She packs up what’s left of her pride and buys a cottage on a small island in the South Carolina Lowcountry. The kind of place where the salt air sticks to your skin and strangers wave from their porches. **But starting over means facing the people she left behind, too.** Her estranged sister. Her complicated mother. And the question she’s been avoiding for years: Can some relationships be mended, or are they better left broken?
