Fogged In - Paperback

by Doreen Burliss (Author)

"She'd wanted to fall in love again, in her own time. It wasn't supposed to happen with a crash and a clamor that left her trembling. It wasn't supposed to happen without her permission..."

Sheri Steele needs to get out of her own way, get her life together, and reclaim her fun, fabulous self. Between her divorce from college sweetheart, Tommy, and her mother's recent diagnosis, Sheri's on the edge of getting sucked into an undertow of self-pity. Taking over her parents' Nantucket beach house is on the table. Is she up for it?

Tangled up in nostalgia, Sheri leans on summer friend, Trudy, to get her out of her funk and back in the game. But when Sheri runs into her ex, she takes going back to another level. Tommy still leaves her molten and with no defense against his charm.

A kaleidoscope of emotions has Sheri whirling and holding her past up against her future while her visiting daughters force her to be in the present. She struggles to come to terms with her parents' new lives, manages repairs to the old beach house, and creates new memories while trying to hold onto tradition. All the while discovering a refreshed version of herself in the unexpected company of her captivating new neighbor, Cooper.

Fogged In is drenched with intimate Nantucket detail, the growing pains of every age, as it simmers with want, the wind of doubt, and hope after all.
