After years of hard work and making peace with life's disappointments, Ruth is looking forward to a carefree summer of solitude. But when she finds a baby girl abandoned on her doorstep, Ruth turns to her new neighbors for help and is drawn into the drama of the close-knit community. The appearance of the mystery baby has an emotional ripple effect through the women in town, including Amelia Cabral, the matriarch who lost her own child decades earlier; Elise Douglas, owner of the tea shop who gave up her dream of becoming a mother; and teenage local Jaci Barros who feels trapped by her parents' expectations. Ruth, caring for a baby for the first time in thirty years, finally reaches out to her own estranged daughter, Olivia, summoning her to Provincetown in hopes of a reconciliation. As summer unfolds and friends and family care for the infant, alliances are made, relationships are tested, and secrets are uncovered. But the unconditional love for a child in need just might bring Ruth and the women of Provincetown exactly what they have been longing for themselves."--Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20210209. 650 $a Abandoned children $v Fiction. 650 $a Women $v Fiction. 650 $a Large type book $v Fiction. 650 $a Neighbors $x Fiction. 650 $a Retired women $x Fiction. 650 $a Childlessness $x Fiction. 650 $a Summer $v Fiction. 650 $a Foundlings $x Fiction. 650 1 $a Neighborhoods $v Fiction. 651 $a Provincetown (Mass.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Chick lit. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20210603010659.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=033C0100C43111EB854196005EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
