Up-Island Harbor
by Jean Stone
The quaint, historic fishing village of Menemsha is a side of Martha's Vineyard that tourists don't always see. Maddie Clarke's late mother was born on the Vineyard, and Maddie hazily recalls childhood visits to her Grandma Nancy's cottage above Menemsha Harbor. Now divorced with a teenage son, Maddie receives a letter that could change everything. It turns out Grandma Nancy didn't die long ago, as Maddie believed. In fact, Nancy just passed away at 89 and left Maddie her gray-shingled cottage. Maddie intends her visit to Martha's Vineyard to be a brief one, just long enough to settle the estate and sell the cottage. But on arriving in Menemsha, she finds far more than memories. There are other family secrets waiting to be uncovered, and a Native American heritage Maddie knew nothing about. Most surprising of all, there is the glimmer of a very different future-a chance to connect with her people and find herself, and perhaps find love, on this beautiful, celebrated island.
