Songs of Summer

The Coleman women reunite for one unforgettable season of heartbreak, second chances, European escape, and the kind of love that refuses to fade.

It’s been nearly a decade since Rachelle Coleman fled Nantucket Island for a new life beneath the golden light of Italy. In that time, the ties to her family have thinned to whispers: no calls, no visits, no forgiveness.
Now, on the brink of everything she once dreamed of: a breathtaking restaurant of her own and a wedding to a charming, powerful Italian man, Rachelle should feel complete.
But dreams have a way of shifting.
In a single, shattering moment, the future she carefully built begins to unravel. Surrounded by wealth, expectation, and a family that isn’t quite her own, Rachelle is left questioning everything she thought she wanted.
Where did the love she once believed in go?
Back home, Estelle Coleman is facing a different kind of loss. Reeling from the death of her beloved husband, she feels untethered, unsure of who she is without the life she knew.

So when her agent suggests one last book tour, Estelle reluctantly agrees, if only to outrun her grief.

But on the road, among devoted readers and unfamiliar cities, she encounters something unexpected: a magnetic stranger who demands of her: at seventy-three, is she truly finished living… or is this where her story begins?

Spanning continents and generations, this luminous and final Coleman novel is a sweeping celebration of family, resilience, and the breathtaking courage it takes to begin again.
