Sunkissed Memories

A therapist holding an island’s worth of secrets must face her own past before she can reclaim her voice, her heart, and her future.

Twenty years ago, Ada’s soaring opera career came to a sudden, heartbreaking end. Once a rising star on magazine covers and center stage, she found herself silenced overnight. The only constant was Peter: the steady man who caught her when she fell, who brought her to Nantucket Island, where together they built a family and a life.
Now, Ada has reinvented herself as a therapist, guiding others through heartbreak and hidden pain. But listening to her patients’ confessions makes her wonder about the choices she’s buried in her own past.
But a brand-new client’s first love after a heartbreaking and failed marriage forces Ada to see cracks in her carefully constructed world. Everything is about to crumble.
Her eldest daughter is leaving for college and carving out a hole in Ada’s heart. Peter’s devotion feels strained and false, as though everything he’s ever said is a lie. Perhaps these are the fault lines threatening to unravel her marriage, her family, and her identity.

As everything teeters on the brink, Ada must decide: will she cling to the silence that has defined her life for decades, or risk everything to find her true voice again?
