Summer on Highland Beach - A Novel

The View cohost, three-time Emmy Award winner, and New York Times bestselling author Sunny Hostin transports readers to the sun, sand, and sea of Highland Beach. Highland Beach, along the Chesapeake Bay, was founded in the late 1800s by the son of Frederick Douglass and is the oldest Black resort community in America. Inside this proud and secluded beach community of about 100 private homes is Olivia Jones''s legacy. But Oliva''s legacy comes with thorns--intertwined are secrets of her aunt''s death; a controlling grandmother who is determined to crush anyone or anything that will interfere with her son''s political career; and a father who wants to rebuild the family he rejected decades ago. In the midst of tense family drama, Olivia must decide if she wants to return to the beautiful life she''s created in Sag Harbor--with the neighbors and wonderful man who''ve become central to her happiness--or finally achieve her dream of having a family and home to call her own in Highland Beach. In this awakening, spirited novel, Sunny Hostin celebrates family, friendship, and community and reminds us of the importance of the legacies of our collective past and finding one''s way in the world.
