Nina Wentworth built her life around taking care of others on Blackberry Island. She gave up medical school so her sister Averil could escape. She became more of a mother than their actual mother ever was. Now Averil has returned to the island, and Nina's carefully controlled world starts falling apart. Two men want her attention: her high school sweetheart and a younger maverick pilot. Averil seems unhappy with her marriage and struggles to write her first book. Their mother continues her reckless behavior. Nina realizes her grip on control is loosening. Her dreams of leaving the island feel more distant than ever. Then their mother makes a discovery that could transform everything. Nina and Averil must decide what they truly want. Will Averil choose to stay? Will Nina finally leave? The sisters face choices about love, family, and their futures while the men in their lives wait for answers.
