Happily married schoolteacher Amy Trevino lives in Narragansett, Rhode Island. Amy is ready to enjoy her summer break, spending time with her daughter Sam, a former Disney star turned disgraced TikTok influencer, who has finally returned home. Amy doesn’t even care what secret Sam is hiding from her and promises not to google her.
Amy’s brother, famous actor Timothy Fleming is also home for the summer, a short ferry ride away on nearby Block Island. Timothy, in town to direct a production of “Much Ado About Nothing,” secretly fears he is washed up.
When Timothy asks always-reliable Amy to step in to manage the production, old resentments resurface. Amy has never gotten over walking in her famous brother’s shadow and the fact he whisked her daughter away to Hollywood at a young age –not to mention his absence when their mother died. With tensions already high, Sam asking to stay with her Uncle Timothy in his rented home rather than with her parents’ sets the stage for a rough opening night indeed.
Summer Stage by Meg Mitchell Moore transports its readers to the beaches of Rhode Island, and is filled with family drama, secrets and love. Fans of Elin Hilderbrand should place their hold today and get ready for the beach.
