Now available for the first time as an eBook, this beloved novel by New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer tells the uplifting story of a single mom seeking independence and struggling to find her way. Nell St. John is not living the life she imagined for herself—not by a long shot. She was once a glamorous young actress married to influential director, Marlow St. John. Together, the A-list couple was the toast of the town. But then Marlow’s star fades and tensions at home skyrocket. Marlow takes up with another woman and abandons Nell, leaving her to pay the bills and raise their two boisterous young children. A string of attractive suitors is not the answer to her lack of fulfillment, but what is? When she’s offered a job at a posh clothing boutique on Nantucket, Nell uproots her young family and moves to the island. Soon, her college age ex-stepdaughter Clary, who has her own romantic troubles, moves in with her, and Clary and Nell fall in love with island life and its gentler pace. Nell also captures the attention of an eccentric man about town. And in that carefree, romantic summer of tender passion, she looks within and discovers much more than she ever dreamed possible. Includes a captivating preview of Nancy Thayer’s upcoming novel Nantucket Sisters!

Nell knits . . . a lot. She knits blankets for new babies, socks and hats and mittens for the children’s home, and scarves for everyone in her family. What Nell doesn’t do is talk a lot. She listens to her friends chat and laugh, and she knits some more.

Nell's kids are crazy about him, and Nell…she could fall for him herself. But it's too soon to be thinking of love and marriage again. Too soon! Not only that, Travis seems intent on stirring up the town—by uncovering the mystery in its past….

"Most of us grow up not oblivious of traditional folklore and fairy tales, which subconsciously shape our values and ideals as children. A massive chunk of these folktales deals with the stories of locked away princess protagonists, described to be exceptionally beautiful and who spend their life in distress only to be relieved by marriage at the end. She would recounted to be blessed with virtues like kindness, subservience, a beautiful passive trophy to be won by a warrior prince, whereas the female antagonist would be an outspoken self-reliant woman of actions; someone who can defy fate and snatch her fancies from it, and is definitely unattractive. This book is an attempt to break such stereotypes and it contains retold versions of three such stories from three different cultures, "The Mermaid"- which is a retold version of an Irish folktale, 'Lady of Gollerus', "The Singing Princess", that of the Spanish folktale 'The Ugly Princess', and "The Tree-Top Girl", a version of the Romanian folktale called 'Wild-Rose', taken from Andrew Lang's collection, 'Crimson Fairy book'. Although the names of these places aren't directly mentioned, each story contains little inklings of the region belong to- for example, the native language of a particular land, or a salient feature of its ethnography. The meta-narrative or the story of 'Nell' is loosely based on the American journalist 'Nellie Bly', and her contribution to an asylum, as well as her journey around the world in 72 days. The story is structured in a fashion where Nell as a fearless woman goes to rescue her brother."
