#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR SUSAN WIGGS BRINGS READERS HOME TO AVALON, AN IDYLLIC TOWN NESTLED ON THE TRANQUIL SHORES OF WILLOW LAKE. THERE ONE WOMAN WILL REDISCOVER HER FAMILY AND HER DREAMS, AND FIND A SURPRISING NEW LOVE...

Sonnet Romano’s life is almost perfect. She has the ideal career, the ideal boyfriend, and has just been off ered a prestigious fellowship. Th ere’s nothing more a woman wants—except maybe a baby...sister?

When Sonnet fi nds out her mother is unexpectedly expecting, and that the pregnancy is high risk, she puts everything on hold—the job, the fellowship, the boyfriend—and heads home to Avalon. Once her mom is out of danger, Sonnet intends to pick up her life where she left off.

But when her mother receives a devastating diagnosis, Sonnet must decide what really matters in life, even
if that means staying in Avalon and taking a job that forces her to work alongside her biggest, and maybe
her sweetest, mistake—award-winning fi lmmaker Zach Alger. So Sonnet embarks on a summer of laughter and tears, of old dreams and new possibilities, and of fi nding the home of her heart.

At once heartbreaking and uplifting, Return to Willow Lake plumbs the deepest corners of the human heart, exploring the bonds of family, the perils and rewards of love, and the true meaning of home. Profoundly emotional and resonant, this is Susan Wiggs at her finest.
