Hope Hanna Murphy: Block Island Saga

By E.D. Hackett

Sometimes the life you created and loved isn't your life at all.

 

Carly thought living with her boyfriend, John, was what she needed to escape the life her parents forced upon her. Working night and day barely paid the bills and working opposite schedules with John discouraged any form of connection. Loneliness and isolation became side effects she never considered when she gave the family-owned bed and breakfast to her cousin Matt and his girlfriend Joanie.

 

An unexpected friend and a forgotten romantic weekend away led to a DNA test that shocked Carly's understanding of her family and herself. She reluctantly moved back home to uncover the secrets and find the truth about how she ended up in the care of her who she believed were her parents.

 

Joanie's life took a turn for the better when Carly gave her full responsibility of the bed and breakfast. Learning how to manage a busy inn was more difficult than Joanie expected, but she was determined to keep the inn successful. Matt and Joanie worked together with ease until her over-the-top sister, Jackie, and unbearable mother, Sheila, showed up unexpectedly to plan Jackie's wedding. Joanie needed Matt to survive the family chaos, but they both harbored secrets that threatened to jeopardize their perfect relationship.

 

Jackie was marrying Chris, Carly's childhood next door neighbor and they were getting married on the island. Suddenly, Carly was thrown into the role of Wedding Planner while searching for the truth that intertwined Chris's family and Carly's parents. Can Carly learn the truth and forgive all those that betrayed her?

 

Join Carly and Joanie for the sequel to AN UNFINISHED STORY and watch another unforgettable year unravel!
