Three generations of women. One mysterious island retreat. A summer that changes everything.

From New York Times bestselling author Lori Wilde comes a story about three generations of women, an island with an air of mystery and magic, and one summer that changes everything.

In the Gulf of Mexico near South Padre sits a private island with a touch of magic. The colors seem brighter. The food tastes better. Wildlife flourishes in peaceful sanctuary. The island is home to an exclusive creative retreat built by billionaire heiress Eloisa Hobby, a mysterious benefactor known for inviting guests who need healing and second chances.

When Jeanie receives one of the coveted golden invitations to bring her family to Hobby Island, she knows they cannot refuse the opportunity. But her daughter Luna and her mother Artie remain wary of the eccentric host and her unusual retreat.

During one unforgettable summer, the three women must confront old wounds, rebuild trust, and rediscover what it means to lean on one another. With help from the island’s creative community—and Eloisa’s quiet guidance—they may finally find the courage to heal and embrace a new future.
