"Sinking into a Nan Rossiter story is like coming home."—Robyn Carr Return to Tybee Island off the coast of Georgia in USA Today bestselling author Nan Rossiter's third Savannah Skies novel, a heartwarming story about love, acceptance, finding your place in the world, and learning to carry on in the face of overwhelming loss. It's been eight months since Libby Tennyson's husband, Jack, passed away, and now every afternoon 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 lifetime 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 life-long friends, Ames and Payton, who get together every Thursday evening for wine, laughter, and companionship. She discovers that her friends all know and adore Chase and accept him for who he is—support that helps Libby find a measure of faith that everything will be all right for her and for the son she dearly loves.
