Now That You Mention It

One step forward. Two steps back. The Tufts
scholarship that put Nora Stuart on the path to becoming a Boston
medical specialist was a step forward. Being hit by a car and then
overhearing her boyfriend hit on another doctor when he thought she was
dying? Two major steps back.

Injured in more ways than one, Nora feels her
carefully built life cracking at the edges. There’s only one place to
land: home. But the tiny Maine community she left fifteen years
ago doesn’t necessarily want her. At every turn, someone holds the
prodigal daughter of Scupper Island responsible for small-town drama and
big-time disappointments.

With a tough islander mother who’s always been
distant and a wild-child sister in jail, unable to raise her daughter—a
withdrawn teen as eager to ditch the island as Nora once was—Nora
has her work cut out for her if she’s going to take what might be her
last chance to mend the family.

But as some relationships crumble around her,
others unexpectedly strengthen. Balancing loss and opportunity, a dark
event from her past with hope for the future, Nora will discover
that tackling old pain makes room for promise…and the chance to begin
again.
