Our place on the island - erika montgomery

For decades, the Campbell women have reunited at the familys rambling seaside cottage known as Beech House to celebrate lifes many occasions.

But this year, they will be called back to Marthas Vineyard for a celebration of a different sort: their beloved matriarch Cora is getting remarried.

And all the town gossips are calling him the one who got away, years ago.

For renowned chef Mickey Campbell, this wedding isnt just a welcome excuse to return to the place she first learned to cook at her grandmothers side.

Its also a chance to regroup while she figures out a way to tell her smoldering head chef boyfriend that shes mismanaged their restaurant into the red.

Mickeys mother, Hedy, is still mourning the passing of her adored father three years earlier, and she isnt sure shes ready to welcome a new man into the fold--and shes not certain her own thorny relationship with her mother will weather the storm of her upcoming marriage.

But everyone knows a womans heart holds more than meets the eye.

For Cora, drawing her daughter and granddaughter back to Beech House isnt just about a ceremony, but a chance to reveal a history she has kept close to her heart for decades.

As the days leading up to the wedding unfold, secrets of Coras past come to light-- a secret that will cause three generations of Campbell women to question marriage, motherhood, and ultimately learn to savor the delicious joy of following your own heart.

Told in dual timelines on the sumptuous beaches of Marthas Vineyard, OUR PLACE ON THE ISLAND is the sparkling, romantic read of the season.
