"An escape to Mackinac Island, just for the season. Have you ever wondered ... What would happen if you just slipped away? Could you leave what's familiar to become someone else--in a different place, living a different life with no one noticing? That's a question Olivia Nash never knew she had, until she started answering it. Her son has slipped away on a summer internship at a Michigan camp. Her husband, Nate, has slipped away on an extended assignment in Montreal; too busy, too wrapped up in a high-stakes merger to include her. Olivia wouldn't want to spend a summer in a city she didn't know without him to keep her company. What would she do all day? Besides, they speak French in Montreal. It's not that she intended to run away, if that's what you want to call it. But smart phones and distracted, disinterested people make it surprisingly easy to telecommute in your role as wife, mother, sister and friend. Where you are is irrelevant. Until where you are, begins to change who you are. Back in a place from her past, on an island that lives in the past, Olivia creates a second, parallel life with an unlikely assortment of people: an independent college student in a quiet crisis; the eccentric owner of Mackinac Island's bookstore; Chef, now older and somehow better looking, but still the temperamental prodigy she remembered from that summer long ago. And the owner of a cottage, known only to her through emails as Frankie, who invites her to house-sit and later revive the neglected Lilac Cottage, giving Olivia the place to reimagine her life and calling at the same time. You might be able to slip away from your life, or take a sabbatical of sorts. For a summer. It's not clear if just as easily you can slip back into the life you left behind when the season ends."--Publisher's description.
