Lisa Hodges needs to make a decision fast. Thanks to her dead husband's gambling addiction, her bank account is dangerously low. In her early fifties with a large, waterfront home on Nantucket to support, Lisa hasn't worked in over thirty years, has no in-demand skills and is virtually unemployable. Her only options are to sell the house and move off-island, or, she could use her cooking and entertaining skills and turn her home into a bed and breakfast. She desperately needs it to succeed because she has adult children with problems of their own and wants to stay close to them. Her oldest daughter, Kate, has a fabulous career in Boston—working as a writer for a popular fashion magazine and engaged to a dangerously handsome photographer, who none of them have met. Kate's twin, local artist, Kristen, is growing frustrated with her relationship with an older, separated businessman. Youngest daughter, Abby, is happily married to her high school sweetheart, and they've been trying to have a baby. But it hasn't happened yet, and Abby wonders if it's a sign that maybe their marriage isn't as perfect as everyone thinks.
