“Up Island” by Anne Rivers Siddons. “From childhood, Molly Bell Redwine was taught by her charismatic, domineering mother that ‘family is everything.’ But no one warned Molly that family can change unexpectedly. In rapid succession, her husband of more than twenty years abandons her for a younger woman, her mother dies and her Atlanta clan scatters to the four winds. Molly is set adrift in a heartbeat. With her old world crumbling, Molly takes refuge with a friend on Martha’s Vineyard, hoping to come to terms with who she truly is.” — Barnes&Noble.
