The past summer has been a wild ride for Joelle Gordon, in more ways than one. After discovering her husband, Jackson, cheating, she fled Chicago for her small-town childhood home in Landon, Minnesota. There, her family's lakeside diner, the Shore Leave Cafe, remains unchanged.

Yet nothing else in Landon is the same, including her family of women, her three teenaged daughters, and the intense, passionate love she has found with Blythe Tilson. Now Blythe is in trouble and Jackson is back in Landon, rethinking their divorce. Can Joelle face one of the most difficult and important decisions of her life - or will the Davis family curse ruin any chances of finding and keeping love?
