Summer at the Cape

Cami Porter, an associate contract attorney at her father's law firm, receives a frantic call from her mother. Cami's younger sister Lily, who drowned rescuing two young girls, dreamt of creating a glamping (glamorous camping) resort on the headland near their mother's home. The elderly neighbor who had never signed the lease is drifting into dementia, and his archaeologist son, Jon, has returned from an important dig in Central America to stop the resort. Lily and her twin, Violet, hardly knew each other, having grown up separately after their parents divorced. She has also returned and discovers that the divorced father of one of the rescued children is the boy who broke her heart in college. Jon is convinced that Cami is a conniving lawyer out to take advantage of his father, until he finds himself appreciating her kindness. Thayne's characters are multidimensional people who care not only for those near-and-dear but also for others who need help, and this lovely romance offers a gentle depiction of many family challenges, including dementia.

When her parents divorced, Cami Porter moved to Los Angeles to live with her attorney father, while her younger twin sisters, Violet and Lily, stayed in Cape Sanctuary with their big-hearted activist mother. Nearly two decades later, Lily drowns saving the life of a little girl whose father is Violet's former sweetheart, and Cami returns to help with the heartbreaking consequences--and get to know her sister better. With a 150,000-copy first printing.
