When Kaitlyn Miller discovers she has a teenage sister she never knew existed, her carefully curated life begins to unravel. Running from the revelation of her mother's long-kept secret, she finds refuge with her free-spirited aunts in Key West, where she hopes to hide from her past. Instead, she discovers her future.
As she volunteers at Paradise Harbor House, Kaitlyn finds unexpected purpose helping families rebuild their lives. But when her sixteen-year-old sister Sarah shows up unannounced, determined to forge a connection, Kaitlyn must confront the very truths she's been avoiding. With the support of documentary filmmaker Will Moreno, whose lens captures more than just her story, and her unconventional but loving family, Kaitlyn learns that sometimes the most beautiful relationships are the ones we never saw coming.
Set against the colorful backdrop of Key West, this heartwarming novel explores the complexities of family secrets, the power of forgiveness, and the courage it takes to open our hearts to new beginnings. As Kaitlyn navigates the delicate balance between the family she was born into and the one she's chosen, she discovers that paradise isn't a place—it's the people who help us find our way home.
A moving tale of sisterhood, second chances, and the families we create when we're brave enough to let love in.

Amazing!!!
It takes a lot for a book to have me crying, but this one did. The way the story unfolded was magical. I loved Chelsea in the Captiva series, and she was as on point, as usual. Love your story telling, Annie!

A delightful vacation read to get lost in
Amazing book by a gifted writer ! The characters are sensitive and very realistic. Even the scenery descriptions are beautifully written. This is a story to get lost in. I want more stories about Kaitlyn and Sarah and all the crazy sisters and Will and Jack and Jamie.

Unsatisfactory ending. The sisters meet and get to know each other but the father makes no apologies to Kaitlyn. Jeffrey is cowed by his wife (former mistress) and never really explains why he walked away from his daughter.
