What to expect

The latest heartwarming novel from the New York Times best selling author Susan Wiggs.

Every town has its secrets …

In idyllic Alara Cove, a California beach town known for its sunny charm and chilled surfer vibe, it's graduation day at the elite Thornton Academy. When top student Nikki Graziola veers off script during her graduation speech, and reveals a shocking secret, it breaks open the whole community.
The consequences will be felt for years to come and will send Nikki into exile, where she finds fame as a successful sportswoman, until a personal tragedy compels her to return to Alara Cove.
As Nikki struggles to rebuild her future, she finds that the people of the town have not forgotten her. But time has changed Alara Cove, and old friendships, rivalries, and an unexpected romance draw her back into the life of the beach town she’s never quite forgotten, and where joy and redemption may be possible after all.
