What this book is about
Mickey Donovan is a single mother who has escaped to the Maine coast town of Magdalene to give herself and her daughter a fresh start. Cillian Gamble is a man with deep roots in the town who is drawn to them. Kristen Ashley's second Magdalene novel is warmer and softer than much of her catalog — a slow-building contemporary romance about community, healing, and finding home.
