Lyrical, emotional, dramatic, and packed with Nancy Thayer s trademark warmth and wisdom, "Heat Wave" tells the moving story of a woman who, after her seemingly perfect life unravels, must find the strength to live and love again. After her husband s sudden death, Carley Winsted is determined to keep her two daughters in their beloved home on Nantucket. To ease the family s financial strain, she decides to transform their grand, historic house into a bed-and-breakfast. Not everyone, however, thinks this plan prudent or quite respectable especially not Carley s mother-in-law. Further complicating a myriad of challenges, a friend forces Carley to keep a secret that, if revealed, will undo families and friendships. And her late husband s former law partner is making Carley confront an array of mixed feelings. Then, during a late-summer heat wave, the lives of Carley and her friends and family will be forever changed in entirely unexpected ways. Look for special features inside.
