From the acclaimed author of Sailing Lessons and Mystic Summer—a “charming gem of a novel” (Elin Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times bestselling author)—an evocative and moving tale about what it means to be a family, set over the course of one unforgettable Connecticut summer. Siblings Perry, Jake, and Phoebe Goodwin were raised on the shore of a beautiful Connecticut lake in a close-knit family. The eldest of the family, forty-two-year-old Perry has long craved order as surely as his charismatic younger brother, Jake, has avoided it. Phoebe, their baby sister, courts both. As adults, the Goodwin siblings could not be more different. Perry is as married to his career in New York as a risk analyst as Phoebe is to her college sweetheart, but both have returned to Connecticut to raise their young families. Charismatic Jake, however, has spent his years living away wanderlust and unable to settle. The three have not spent much time together…until this summer. On the afternoon of their grandmother’s ninety-seventh birthday party, the siblings reunite at the lake house where Jake stuns the family with a stranger on his arm and an announcement. Olivia Cossette, daughter of a French chef, does not share the traditional Goodwin New England upbringing or sense of family. What she does share is parenthood, as the single mother of a little girl who does not speak. While the Goodwin family struggle to welcome the newcomers over the course of the summer, a series of bad choices made by each family member finally unravels, leaving them all to question just what truly makes a family. Can one fateful moment on a July afternoon undo a lifetime of good intentions? Only one thing is for certain—this extraordinary summer has irrevocably changed the Goodwin family and all that remains is the uncertain future. With Hannah McKinnon’s signature “enticing and refreshing” (Nancy Thayer, New York Times bestselling author) prose, this is a warm-hearted novel that is perfect for fans of Mary Alice Monroe’s the Beach House series and the works of Elin Hilderbrand.

A woman in crisis remembers a summer of hedonism that changed her life, in this novel about being “caught between the wiles of youth and the wisdom of age” (Booklist). When Frances was twenty-two, she was drifting, scraping by giving English lessons in Mexico, when she met up with a glamorous group of vacationing Americans staying in a mansion on a private beach. Two decades later in rural England, she is settled into married life. Then she discovers a love letter from a younger woman addressed to her husband—almost at the same time that she learns that she’s facing a life-threatening illness. As her contented existence begins to unravel and she tries to decide whether to confront her husband about his infidelity, Frances finds herself haunted by the memory of her heady desert encounter with the charmed circle of the Severance family. That summer in 1976 seemed, until now, like another lifetime. As she recalls this long buried episode from her past, she is forced to face for the first time her own role in an illicit romance—and the betrayal and tragedy that marked its ending.

Must we always later regret actions that were wrong for us to perform at the time? Can there ever be good reason to affirm things in the past that we know were unfortunate? In this original work of moral philosophy, R. Jay Wallace shows that the standpoint from which we look back on our lives is shaped by our present attachments-to persons, to the projects that imbue our lives with meaning, and to life itself. Through a distinctive "affirmation dynamic", these attachments commit us to affirming the necessary conditions of their objects. The result is that we are sometimes unable to regret events and circumstances that were originally unjustified or otherwise somehow objectionable. Wallace traces these themes through a range of examples. A teenage girl makes an ill-advised decision to conceive a child - but her love for the child once it has been born makes it impossible for her to regret that earlier decision. The painter Paul Gauguin abandons his family to pursue his true artistic calling (and eventual life project) in Tahiti--which means he cannot truly regret his abdication of familial responsibility. The View from Here offers new interpretations of these classic cases, challenging their treatment by Bernard Williams and others. Another example is the "bourgeois predicament": we are committed to affirming the regrettable social inequalities that make possible the expensive activities that give our lives meaning. Generalizing from such situations, Wallace defends the view that our attachments inevitably commit us to affirming historical conditions that we cannot regard as worthy of being affirmed--a modest form of nihilism.

THE VIEW FROM HERE is a rich, compelling testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit. Frieda Bermans clear, honest story illustrates the Jewish immigrant experience, from escaping the pogroms of Russia in 1920 to fl eeing the persecution of the Nazis in Romania, to discovering love and building a home in a New Jersey suburb. Frieda bravely examines her fears, sadness and regrets with infectious candor. Frieda Berman offers us an important historical perspective on the struggles and triumphs of women from her generation. It gave me even more appreciation for the choices and options we have available today, while giving me fi rsthand insight into the diffi culties the women of yesterday faced and the strength and courage they needed to survive. - Robyn Hatcher What happens when the curtain of words daughter, wife, mother, grandmother is pulled back and the woman is revealed? Describing fl eeing pogroms and Nazis as a child, to living on her own for the fi rst time at age eighty-fi ve, THE VIEW FROM HERE tells the story of courage and determination to live and love in the face of crisis and loss. In the cracks of the hard life so many immigrants faced in America, Frieda recognizes the poetry around us makes the day and the days stack up to make a life. -C.O. Moed Joyce McKee is a freelance screenwriter who lives in New York City with her husband and two sons.

Teetering confidence levels, feeling different and living as the "other" are stories we often do not hear from Black men. These remnants of inadequacy seep into their evolving identities and highlight differences as deficiencies. Standing at 7'2, NBA athlete Alexis Ajinça, shares intimate confessions and personal stories of growing up as an outcast and the impacts it has had on his mental and emotional wellness since childhood. From avoiding public appearances so people won't sneak a photo or make comments about his large stature to overcoming feelings of social anxiety and insecurity, in this book, he highlights the challenges that were birthed from living in a body that very few can relate to. Taking readers on a candid journey of self-acceptance and using self-mastery as a way to regulate his emotional responses, Ajinça details the practical tools and mindset shifts he has developed in order to build his confidence. Through his own hardships with being tall, he shares an engaging and powerful message for anyone who has ever felt broken, less than or different. He reminds readers that no matter how successful you may become, feeling good about yourself is a prerequisite to happiness and fulfillment that far outweighs any accolade or dollar amount.

In this heartfelt, beautifully written novel, a woman with nothing left to lose finds the courage to start over in the last place she ever expected. . . Newly divorced Maggie Carter has little to show for her marriage except a pile of boxes and regrets. So when she learns she's inherited an old house and an abandoned gold mine in Eureka, Colorado, she doesn't hesitate to leave Houston behind. In Colorado, she can learn about her estranged father and take stock of her life. After all, where better to decide what your next move should be than in a cabin 10,000 feet above sea level? Eureka is a tiny hamlet with a café, a library, and plenty of intriguing locals. There's the colorful town mayor, Lucille, and her prodigal daughter Olivia, bitter librarian Cassie, and handsome, enigmatic Jameso Clark, who had a fascinating love-hate relationship with Maggie's father. Then there are the soaring views of distant mountains and clear blue sky, of aspen trees and endless stars. Piece by piece, Maggie is uncovering her father's past--and reconciling with her own. And in this small mountain town, she just might find a place where she truly belongs.
