Summer Island: A Novel

by Kristin Hannah

Nora is a famous radio personality, dispensing moral advice to an audience of millions; her daughter Ruby is a comedian, struggling to break out in an uncaring industry. When Nora becomes the focus of a scandal, their relationship is put in the spotlight. Asked to write a tell-all memoir about their relationship, Ruby embarks with great gusto—but soon discovers that her mother is not the person she thought she was, the person she has resented for so long. A sentimental family drama from Kristin Hannah’s backlist of lesser known novels, first published in 2001.
