Emily is determined to transform her life when, like a little tornado, an attractive young musician blows into her world and opens her imagination up to spicy possibilities. Emily knows she's too mature for Luke, he's the same age as her children, but the temptation is real. She has always been there, caregiving for others so why not something just for her, her little secret? Sometimes all you can do is laugh at yourself and talk to your best friends.
Imagine if you could have one more conversation with your best friends now gone from this earth. One "I love you," one rift healed, one glass of wine. Would you listen to them if they talked back? Emily does listen, and her spirit friends fill her dreams with sweet and bittersweet memories. She's coping with personal losses and mid-life career uncertainties and fortunately, her dead friends have as much to say as the living and do their best to keep her out of the whirlwind that is Luke.
Emily would love to have a light heart every day, not just when she talks to her best friends, but a secret from her youth is dragging her down and often plays havoc with her inner peace. Her mind is happiest in the clouds, but her friends and family would like her keep her feet on the ground. Will she stay away from the bad boy this time?
On an Island cradled in the waves of Atlantic Canada, Emily discovers the rhythms of compassion, healing, and belonging as she learns to let go of impossible loves.
Grounded in a conversational tone similar to Liane Moriarty, Lesley Crewe and JoJo Moyes, with a touch of magical realism à la Isabel Allende's classic novel The House of Spirit and Evie Woods' The Lost Bookshop. In language that is sometimes quirky, sometimes salty, occasionally raw, and undeniably human, Emily carries you with her as she overcomes challenges and heals from past traumas. Set on Prince Edwards Island, first known and loved around the world by LM Montgomery's stories of Anne of Green Gables.
