It seems Provincetown has other plans. Ruth discovers a newborn on the porch of her summer rental home, with no note or information about where she came from. The tight-knit community quickly comes to her aid, accepting both the baby and Ruth as their own. The presence of a new life has a profound emotional impact on a particular group of women: local tea-shop owners who gave up their dreams of having children of their own; the matriarchal owner of an inn who lost her own child years earlier; a local teen who yearns to break free from her small-town life; and Ruth’s own daughter, who has spent years struggling with feelings of abandonment. As the summer unfolds, it seems that the unexpected arrival of the baby might have been exactly what this community needed in order to heal wounds of its own.
“Jamie Brenner’s latest glittering read is her best summer book yet, a combination of page-turning plot and heartfelt human connection that will stay with readers long after the last sunset of the season. With Summer Longing, Jamie Brenner draws a world of hope and second chances that will leave readers wondering, with newfound optimism, what the next chapter might hold for their own lives.”
—Kristy Woodson Harvey, author of Feels Like Falling

I live in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. People are friendly and love to read books.
I live in Chicago and I love the big city kind of life. Love the cover of this book and it sounds like a good beach read. Thanks for your great generosity.
Looks like a fun summer read! I live on Long Island and this would be perfect to take to the beach!
My neighborhood is mature, charming, unique and peaceful. Educated and well read.
I live in a small rural town in central(ish) Minnesota. Lots of parks, some lakes, a Target, and two movie theatres. I'd love more restaurants (when we can go back into those ... sigh), but other than that, it's a great place to live.
I live in a charming little town in Ohio. My neighborhood is special because everyone looks out for everyone and jumps up to help when someone is sick or needs help, The way it used to be in life and hopefully will be again.
I live in a college town in Colorado. My Old Town neighborhood is charming, full of big trees and diverse.

I live in Edmond, Oklahoma and our neighborhood has changed over the years. Years ago we knew everyone in the neoghborhood. Now we only know the neighbors that are closest to us.
I live in the suburbs of Virginia where I was born and raised. I also happen to live right by my parents.

I live in a small town in Iowa with a population of 500. Everyone knows everyone and helps whenever they can. Can't be beat!
My community is located within the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. It is a decent location in that it is easy to access major cities, but also smaller, rural towns. Here, there is a little bit of everything - a fast-paced life, but also a slower one when one chooses. We have a plethora of local farms that when in season, grow some of the freshest, beautiful produce and it is a joy to browse and purchase!
I live in Pawcatuck, CT and my community is nice enough.
I live on the NE side of a medium-sized city, and I hesitate to call my neighborhood a “community.” The neighborhood itself is even nebulous, at least to me. The few blocks around my house are just... more houses, with more people living in them. While I’m very disconnected from this area, I still get the sense that it’s not just me.
