Claire has just discovered that her husband, Ellis, of 20 years has been having an affair. Of course, Ellis's new flame is way younger. The new flame is also pregnant with Ellis's baby and very surprising so is Claire. They have one daughter together Lily who is 16. They thought they were never able to have any more children.
With not many options, Claire heads back to Nantucket where she grew up. There she has her mother and grandmother and her best friend. Being in her late 30's living with her mom and pregnant is not how she saw her future but it is what it is.
Claire has $1000 in her purse that she grabbed from the safe when she left. It's not going to last her long. Now Lily has come to stay on Nantucket and she needs things too. After a joke at book club that she may need to start selling off her many name brand purses a business idea has begun.
I love reading Pamela Kelley books. I always enjoy reading books set in Nantucket. Kelley writes about the scenery there so beautifully. Another thing I love about Pamela Kelley books is how she writes about wine and food and Nantucket Second Chances includes all the best scenery, wine and food descriptions. If you like Elin Hildebrand definitely give Pamela Kelley books a try.
