The nantucket inn: large print edition - pamela m. kelley

Lisa Hodges needs to make a decision fast.

Thanks to her dead husbands gambling addiction, their savings is almost gone.

In her early fifties with a large, waterfront home on Nantucket to support, Lisa hasnt worked in over thirty years, has no in-demand skills and is virtually unemployable.

Her only options are to sell the house and move off-island, or, she could use her cooking and entertaining skills and turn her home into a bed and breakfast.

She desperately needs it to succeed because she has four grown children with problems of their own and wants to stay close to them.

Her oldest daughter, Kate, has a fabulous career in Boston--working as a writer for a popular fashion magazine and engaged to a dangerously handsome, photographer, who none of them have met.

Kates twin, local artist, Kristen, has been reasonably content with her on-again off-again relationship with an older, separated businessman.

Her son, Chase, runs his own construction business and is carefree, happily dating here and there but nothing serious.

Youngest daughter, Abby, is happily married to her high school sweetheart, and theyve been trying to have a baby.

But it hasnt happened yet, and Abby wonders if its a sign that maybe their marriage isnt as perfect as everyone thinks.

Come visit Nantucket and see how Lisas new bed and breakfast has an impact on almost everyone in her family.

Its the first book in a new series that will follow the Hodges family, friends, and visitors to Nantuckets Beach Plum Cove Inn.
