Description
Some things don’t break all at once, and some burdens aren’t lighter when they are shared.
Jessie has always been the steady one-the glue holding together a family stitched with love, loss, and second chances. But even glue has its limits, and the cracks are starting to show.
Paul, the man she loves, seems to be slipping further away. He’s fighting battles she can’t see, and for the first time, she isn’t sure if love-no matter how fierce-is enough to hold them together.
Jessie’s daughter Brittney looks like she has it all together. A business. A home. A romance. But as her boyfriend Harrison is forced to build a life somewhere else, she’s left standing still, wondering if fighting for a future is the same thing as moving forward.
Meanwhile, Paul’s daughter Julie is newly pregnant and determined to improve upon the life that launched her. When she uncovers something she never knew about the mother she misses deeply, she must decide what to hold onto and what to release.
In the small, seaside town of Surfside Beach, where family means everything and “practically” counts just as much as blood, the Oakley-Jameson women are learning that the past isn’t as settled as it seems and the future doesn’t wait for anyone to be ready.
But if they can’t have perfect…
they’ll have to find a way to hold on to the best of them.

About the Author
Capriotti Burton, Kelly: – Kelly finds it easy to write the Surfside Beach series: as a transplant from South Chicago Heights, Illinois, she’s truly found her home on the South Carolina coast. The author of six books, she draws inspiration from big, chaotic families like the one she’s built with her husband, Rod. Together, they have five children and are always finding ways to create community and gather family. Kelly co-owns a local running store and is, fittingly, always on the run-usually toward the beach, the gym, favorite local cafes and eateries, the sound of ’90s rock, or a specific whimsical cabin in the north Georgia mountains.
