Note "A mother's love knows no bounds"--Cover.
Summary "It's been eight months since Libby Tennyson's husband, Jack, passed away, and now every afternoon on Tybee Island, Georgia, when the fiery sun sinks below the horizon, she finds herself wandering through the empty old farmhouse in which they raised their six sons. Melancholy hour, she calls it--the time of day that was once a flurry of dinner, homework, and chores. With her sons grown and on their own, she grieves for all she has lost--and worries about what the future holds for her youngest son, twenty-eight-year-old Chase. All the Tennyson boys are handsome, but there's something about Chase that has always made women swoon. Growing up in the shadow of his older brothers, Chase was different--gentler, kinder, a boy with a big heart who looked after those most vulnerable. Though his family loved him deeply, Chase never felt he could truly be himself until he met Liam Evans, his partner in business and love. After six years, he and Liam are ready to make a lifelong commitment... yet neither is sure if his family is ready for a same-sex wedding. But life is full of surprises. Libby finds solace and unexpected hope when she connects with the Guild, a group of widows--including her neighbors and lifelong friends, Ames and Payton--who gets together every Thursday evening for wine, laughter, and companionship. Here, Libby discovers not only a safe space but also a place of honesty and growth. While Chase and Libby may not see eye to eye every time, they can both agree that true love always wins."--Cover, page 4.
