Our Last Vineyard Summer is Out Today

And I’m coming to a bookstore near you!

I’ve been waiting and waiting and WAITING for Our Last Vineyard Summer to come out in the world and it’s finally here! I keep saying that this is the book I was meant to write. I think because it combines so many pieces of who I am: my years covering Washington, DC as a journalist, my love of Martha’s Vineyard, my obsession in understanding family dynamics, and the culmination of years of research and life experience about what it means to be a woman.

The questions on my mind when I was writing this book: Is it possible to be a feminist and a mother, a woman who chooses to follow her career without feeling resentment from her husband and children? Can you be a loving sister while still asking tough questions of your siblings? Mostly, if you had to spend a summer with your grown sisters and mother in adulthood, what would you discover about your memories, those shared and those experienced entirely differently? A family’s shared memory is often splintered by our individual interpretation of the same events.

Something I think you’re going to want to read: I have an article in People magazine about my own relationships with my sisters. You can read it here. I’m also excited to say that Our Last Vineyard Summer was called a “must” for your beach bag by Boston Magazine as well as a Best Book of Summer by BookBub. Woot! I have some more big news too but I can’t share quite yet. Soon!

If you want to learn more about the novel, there are a few podcasts featuring Our Last Vineyard Summer too. Take a listen!

Much more coming soon, but I just want to say that the novel is now in bookstores so you can finally pick up your copy today.

Oh! And how could I forget? I’m going on tour. I’m partnering up with a few of my favorite authors for some really fabulous events. I’m putting the graphic below but just note that M. Judson in Greenville is actually on 8/25! Xo

Happy Pub Day to me! :)))))
