No one captures the tides of a woman’s heart quite like Jean Stone in her highly acclaimed novels set on New England’s celebrated island Martha’s Vineyard. This new novel brings together brash red-head Rita Blair-Rollins with three courageous women whose struggles ultimately change her life and reveal startling truths about the people and places she only thought she knew.

Beach Roses

The women begin as strangers: Katie, the vibrant rock star who must choose between saving her own life and the life of her unborn child; Hannah, the selfless housewife who finds herself abandoned by her friends just when she needs them most; Faye, the wealthy executive who thought she’d already survived the greatest fight of her life...and Rita, whose own past cannot stay hidden for long.

Before the summer ends, these women will form a lasting bond. It will be a season when old hurts are finally healed and love becomes rekindled as life begins anew.
