Second Chance Summer

Not every woman has a tribe.Olivia Lawson is one of those women.Cardinal Cove, Maine.Olivia "Liv" Lawson has lived in town her entire life and wouldn’t change it for anything. It’s in this idyllic beach town that she met the love of her life, Dane, and happily settled down with him into her dream house.After joining the Windbreaker Country Club Liv’s social life blossomed, her summers were full of sipping frozen drinks on the beach or lounging by the pool with her new friends. Nights were just as lively, whether it was hosting a party with Dane at their house or joining their friends and attending one of the many events the club threw throughout the summer.That’s all changed now, though.The man that she stood by for over fifteen years, the man who said he would always be there for her and not to worry, is gone, and in his absence Liv’s whole world is falling apart.She has no tribe. Her friends are noticeably distancing themselves, not returning her calls and dodging her texts. Women are always talking about being so lucky to have such good friends to rely on, their “people”, their “tribe”. Liv needs hers and they’ve abandoned her.Already reeling from Dane’s death, she’s dealt another devastating blow, and finds herself questioning if she ever even knew who Dane really was.With her bank account dwindling and no place to live she’s left with one humiliating option for her next step.
