These Summer Storms: A Novel by Sarah MacLean

Product Details

About the Book

These Summer Storms marks Sarah MacLean's first work of contemporary fiction, following a recently deceased tech billionaire patriarch, his difficult widow, and their four children — dutiful and tormented Greta, entitled Sam, beloved free spirit Emily, and independent Alice, who was banished from the family — as they gather on the family's private island for his funeral and the reading of his will.

Alice Storm hasn't been welcome at her family's magnificent private island off the Rhode Island coast in five years — not since she was cast out and built her life beyond the Storm name, influence, and untold billions. But the shocking death of her larger-than-life father changes everything, drawing her back for one explosive week of long-buried secrets, sharp family reckonings, and a swoony romance that matches the heat of a Rhode Island summer.

The novel explores the transformative power of grief, love, and family, at once deliciously clever and surprisingly tender, tracing past secrets, present truths, and futures forged in the wake of wild summer storms.
