If for Any Reason

by Courtney Walsh

First published 2020

Emily Ackerman carries her deceased mother's letters wherever she goes. These written words have guided her through a fatherless childhood and into adulthood. When work failures force her back to Nantucket, Emily faces renovating the family cottage she inherited. Her plan is simple: fix it up and sell it. Then her grandmother shows up to supervise the project. Next door lives Hollis McGuire, the former baseball player whose career ended with an injury. Emily knew him as a boy, but now sparks ignite between them. The island begins to feel like home in ways Emily never expected. She discovers disturbing truths about the accident that killed her mother. These revelations shatter everything she believed about her family's past. Emily must decide whether to follow her mother's written guidance or create her own future on Nantucket.
