The last thing Lindy Coats wants is a divorce, but deep down she knows there has to be more to her twenty-year marriage than laundry and loneliness. In an act of desperation, she leaves her workaholic husband a note, pulls her teenage daughter out of school in Pittsburgh, and moves to their summer cottage on the shores of Lake Michigan.
Adam Coats can barely grasp the contents of the note in his hands. His wife has left him. That is what it says. And it says so many other heartbreaking things about how they barely see one another, or talk, or touch. How she's been laid off from her job for six weeks, and Adam hadn't even noticed. Worst of all, it is all true. Adam knows this. When had wanting to be a good business owner and provider for his family turned into this nightmare? He must earn Lindy back. There has to be a way.
In the town of Blueberry Beach, Michigan, Lindy's new neighbors, a lonely single dad, a crotchety business owner, and a young mother with terrible secrets and a son fighting leukemia, begin to help Lindy discover how to infuse joy back into her life and heal her soul. She's even inspired to start her own business.
But when Adam shows up, determined to reconcile, Lindy must decide between her bright new future or the value of yesterday's treasures.
