Well, it's August now (where does the time go?) and for those of you planning on visiting the beach this book Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan is a good one to bring with you. All three generations of The Kellehers go to the family's beach house in Maine for the summer, which became the family property when a bet was won. It touches on female family relationships and the trials they face and how they put up with each other. I enjoyed how the story goes back and forth from the 50's to present day to help unfold the story with Alice being the main character. There is also some struggling with alcoholism, an unplanned pregnancy and a tragedy that has been kept a secret for decades, whether it comes out into the open or not, well you'll just have to read it. An easy read that I couldn't put down. I'm sure you'll find one of the ladies you will really connect with.
