Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: "Mae Summers has it all: a loving fiancé, Peter, a job at the flourishing company he owns and a beautiful New York City apartment. But Mae's life shatters when she wakes up one morning to discover Peter gone--leaving only a cryptic note behind him--and the company in shambles, its investments founded on lies. There's only one place for Mae to go: home to Alexandria Bay, the small tourist town in upstate New York where she was raised by her grandparents in the inn they own. And not all is right in Alex Bay, either: Mae finds her grandmother struggling with dementia, separated from Mae's grandfather thanks to a terrible secret she never meant to reveal. She also finds Gabe, her childhood best friend who became the love of her young life--now a handsome if brooding adult, working through a private trauma that still haunts him. A lifetime of secrets stands in the way of Mae and her family's happiness. Home may be where the heart is, but sometimes it takes equal parts love, forgiveness and will to mend that heart" -- From Amazon.

"Fans of Nicholas Sparks will adore Things to Do When It's Raining... Marissa Stapley's writing is a gift." --Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author



When secrets tear love apart, can the truth mend it?



Mae Summers and Gabe Broadbent grew up together in the idyllic Summers' Inn, perched at the edge of Alexandria Bay in upstate New York. Mae was orphaned at the age of six and Gabe needed protection from his alcoholic father, so both were raised under one roof by Mae's grandparents, Lily and George.



A childhood friendship quickly developed into a first love--a love that was suddenly broken by Gabe's unexpected departure. Mae grew up and got over her heartbreak, and started a life for herself in New York City.



After more than a decade, Mae and Gabe find themselves pulled back to Alexandria Bay by separate forces. But Mae finds her grandparents in the midst of decline and their past unravelling around her, because of a terrible secret that was never meant to be revealed--one that will change Mae's future forever.



With honesty and heart, Marissa Stapley reminds us of the redemptive power of love and forgiveness, and that, ultimately, family is a choice.



Includes discussion questions and a conversation with the author.
