Harbor Lights

About the Book

The chef who lost everything. The daughter who won’t forgive. One summer to prove she’s changed.

Dawn Larson’s life is a master class in self-destruction: failed marriage, ruined career, and a daughter who hasn’t spoken to her in years. When her stepmother’s will forces her to spend a year at the Stillwater Inn with five others, Dawn sees only punishment.

Desperate for money and a chance to rebuild, she buys a food truck and pours herself into restoring the inn’s kitchen—every dish, every repair a quiet plea to Maris. This time she’s changed.

But starting over means facing the truth—the lies she told, the shortcuts she took, the family she resented for decades. As a sixty-year-old mystery pulls the fractured group together, the heirs search for answers about the past. Dawn searches for something more elusive—forgiveness from her daughter, from herself, and from the stepmother she spent decades resenting, whose grace she’s only now beginning to understand.

Return to the world of Hometown Harbor with Harbor Lights, the fourth book in the Stillwater Inn series—an emotional women’s fiction story about the mess we make, the families we break, and the fragile hope that can be more than our worst decisions.
