A sweeping debut novel about the generations of a family that spends summers in a seaside enclave on Maine\x27s rocky coastline, for fans of Elin Hilderbrand, Beatriz Williams, and Sarah Blake.<\/b> 1944: <\/b>Maren Larsen is a blonde beauty from a small Minnesota farming town, determined to do her part to help the war effort\-\-and to see the world beyond her family\x27s cornfields. As a cadet nurse at Walter Reed Medical Center, she\x27s swept off her feet by Dr. Oliver Demarest, a handsome Boston Brahmin whose family spends summers in an insular community on the rocky coast of Maine. 1970: <\/b>As the nation grapples with the ongoing conflict in Vietnam, Oliver and Maren are grappling with their fiercely independent seventeen\-year\-old daughter, Annie, who has fallen for a young man they don\x27t approve of. Before the summer is over a terrible tragedy will strike the Demarests\-\-and in the aftermath, Annie vows never to return to Haven Point. 2008: <\/b>Annie\x27s daughter, Skye, has arrived in Maine to help scatter her mother\x27s ashes. Maren knows that her granddaughter inherited Annie\x27s view of Haven Point: despite the wild beauty and quaint customs, the regattas and clambakes and sing\-alongs, she finds the place\-\-and the people\-\-snobbish and petty. But Maren also knows that Annie never told Skye the whole truth about what happened during that fateful summer. Over seven decades of a changing America, through wars and storms, betrayals and reconciliations, Virginia Hume\x27s Haven Point<\/i> explores what it means to belong to a place, and to a family, which holds as tightly to its traditions as it does its secrets.<\/p>
