A friendship is tested in this irresistible page-turner from New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand.

Nantucket writer Madeline King could not have picked a worse time to have writer's block. Her deadline is looming, her bills are piling up, and inspiration is in short supply. Madeline's best friend Grace, is hard at work transforming her garden into the envy of the island with the help of a ruggedly handsome landscape architect. Before she realizes it, Grace is on the verge of a decision that will irrevocably change her life. Could Grace's crisis be Madeline's salvation? As the gossip escalates, and the summer's explosive events come to a head, Grace and Madeline try desperately to set the record straight--but the truth might be even worse than rumor has it.


Elin Hilderbrand does her best writing on the beaches of Nantucket, as well as on the charming streets of Beacon Hill in Boston. She has three magical children who beg her not to sing along to the radio or dance in public. The Rumor is her fifteenth novel.

Reviews

Praise for BEAUTIFUL DAY:

"A perfect summer read."โ€”Ladies Home Journal "A wedding readers won't be able to resist crashing."โ€”Kirkus Reviews "Hilderbrand has once again written an engaging story wonderfully illustrating the often complex lives of young people struggling toward adulthood."โ€”Booklist "A sensitive glimpse into the lives of damaged people groping their way toward healing."โ€”Kirkus Reviews PRAISE FOR SUMMERLAND:

"Summerland is as readable as any beach book, but with a much bigger heart."โ€”Boston Globe "Hilderbrand's latest is the perfect beach read....[her] straightforward style pulls the reader into the minds of her characters, and all the secrets and sorrows that create the universal messiness of major family events."โ€”Publishers Weekly "The Queen of the Summer Novel...Hilderbrand blends real-life issues - depression, teen alcoholism, bullying - with her signature soapy twists and illicit romances."โ€”Joanna Powell, People Expand reviews
