Heat wave [large print] / Nancy Thayer.

Summary:

Making the startling discovery that her family finances are in dire straits is only the latest shock endured by Carley Winsted after her husband's sudden death from a heart attack. Resisting her in laws, well meaning overtures to take in Carley and her two daughters, the young widow instead devises a plan to keep her family in their beloved home, a grand historic house on the island of Nantucket. The solution is right at Carley's front door: transforming her house into a bed and breakfast. Not everyone, however, thinks this plan prudent or quite respectable, especially not Carley's mother in law. Further complicating a myriad of challenges, a friend forces Carley to keep a secret that, if revealed, will undo families and friendships. When her late husband's former law partner keeps showing up at the most unexpected times, Carley must cope with an array of mixed feelings. And then, during a late summer heat wave, the lives of Carley and her friends and family will be forever changed in entirely unexpected ways.
