NOTES

"A witty, heartfelt novel about a young woman who leaves everything behind to work on an oyster farm in a small New England town. Recently fired and recovering from a messy breakup, thirty-two-year-old Cece Downing is holed up for the summer in New London, Connecticut, without a plan. Mounting financial debts soon force Cece to take the first job that comes her way--one she's wholly unsuited for--as a deckhand on an oyster boat. Despite her mother's pleas to get a "real" job and reunite with her wealthy fiancé, Cece finds herself loving working with her hands, breathing fresh sea air, and learning everything about oyster farming. She also plunges headlong into a romance with a handsome shipyard worker named Morgan. When a proposal to expand the oyster farm roils her community, Cece finds herself caught in the middle. And as a family crisis forces her to reevaluate her choices, Cece must come to terms with what she's willing to sacrifice for the life she wants to live."--
