Years ago, Nora Bridge walked out on her marriage and left her daughters
behind. She has since become a celebrity radio talk-show host and news-
paper columnist beloved for her moral advice. Her youngest daughter, Ruby, is
a struggling comedian who uses her famous mother as fuel for her bitter, cynical
humor. When the tabloids unearth a scandal in Nora's past, her career implodes
and Ruby gets her big break: She is offered a fortune to write an unflattering
tell-all article about her mother. Under false pretenses, Ruby returns home to talk
to the woman she hasn't spoken to for almost a decade.
Home. To the house on Summer Island where Ruby grew up, a place filled
with childhood memories of love and joy and belonging.
There, as Ruby is reunited with old friends, what began as an exposé evolves
into an exploration of her family's troubled past. In picking apart her mother S
life, Ruby has no choice but to examine her own.
As the magazine deadline draws near and Ruby finishes the story that has begun to feel like an act of brutal betrayal, she is forced to make a choice, not
about the past but about the future
The truth is not as simple as she'd once imagined.
Summer Island is a beautiful novel, at once funny, tender, sad, and ultimately
triumphant.
