Publisher's Summary
New York Times best-selling author Patti Callahan Henry returns to the beloved Lowcountry setting of The Bookshop at Water's End with a novel of one woman's homecoming.
On her wedding day 10 years ago, Lena Donohue experienced a betrayal so painful that she fled the small town of Watersend, South Carolina, and reinvented herself in New York City. Though now a freelance travel writer, the one place she rarely goes is home - until she learns of her dad's failing health.
Returning to Watersend means seeing the sister she has avoided for a decade and the brother who runs their family's Irish pub - and who has borne the burden of his sisters' rift. While Alzheimer's slowly steals their father's memories, the siblings rush to preserve his life in stories and photographs. As his secret past brings Lena's own childhood into focus, it sends her on a journey to discover the true meaning of home....

All the feels!
I loved this book. Every part of it. the descriptions of land I have never seen but feel I now know intimately. descriptions of emotions, sadness, joy, anger. this story covers it all with an overarching tinge of loss.. and love. if you've struggled losing someone to dementia or Alzheimer's, or just love a beautiful story, this is it.
