The summer that shaped us : a novel / by Wilde, Lori,author.(CARDINAL)355327;
"In the Gulf of Mexico, near South Padre, sits a private island with a bit of a magic about it: the colors are brighter, the food tastes better, and turtles and cranes find sanctuary there. The billionaire heiress who built the thriving resort on Hobby Island exclusively for crafters, Eloisa Hobby, is as much a mystery as she is a mentor. Those with troubles are invited in the aftermath of an emotional turmoil, and with help from the other crafters on the island Eloisa acts as a sounding board while she gently and unobtrusively guides the visitors toward healthy resolutions in their lives. Only a few receive the honor of a golden ticket. Luna, ever the pragmatist, is reeling in the wake of tragedy: she's just moved with her fierce, opinionated teenage daughter Artemis to her mother's house after they lost their husband and father. But her mother Jeanie, artistic and sensitive, has faced her own troubles recently, and her home may not be the stable sanctuary the three women so desperately need. When Jeanie receives one of the coveted tickets, inviting her and her family to Hobby Island, the blessing is one they can't turn down, though both Luna and Artie remain skeptical of their eccentric host and benefactor"--Description based on a previous book by this author and publisher data.
