The View from Here: A Novel

From the acclaimed author of Sailing Lessons and the "charming gem of a novel" (Elin Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times bestselling author) Mystic Summer, an evocative and moving tale about what it means to be a family, set over the course of one unforgettable Connecticut summer.

Siblings Perry, Jack, and Phoebe Goodwin were raised on the shore of a beautiful Connecticut lake in a close-knit family. But as adults, Jack decided to live as far away as possible, leaving Perry and Phoebe behind to raise their own families nearby. The three siblings haven't spent much time together...until this summer.

On the afternoon of their grandmother's birthday celebration, they reunite at the family home, prepared to return to their respective homes as soon as the festivities end. But at the party, a series of bad choices made by each family member finally unravels, leaving them all to question just what truly makes a family. And can one fateful moment undo a lifetime of good intentions? Only one thing is for certain--this extraordinary summer has irrevocably changed the Goodwin family and all that remains is the uncertain future.

With Hannah McKinnon's signature "enticing and refreshing" (Nancy Thayer, New York Times bestselling author) prose, this is a warm-hearted novel that is perfect for fans of Mary Alice Monroe's the Beach House series and the works of Elin Hilderbrand.
