Where Raspberries Grow

A lot of raspberries & one summer to get it right.

Arriving in Nantucket from across the ocean where his mother works, Will Abreo has spent every summer with the Emery family since he was 10.

Malina Manning has spent every summer silently crushing on her best friend, Victoria's visitor. The shy, awkward French boy who stays with the family.

The three of them have built a lifetime of traditions-county fairs, fireworks, beach days, birthday parties, and late-night conversations that always end too soon.

To Will, Nantucket is the closest thing he's ever had to home.

To Malina, it's the only place she's ever allowed herself to hope.

But this summer is different.

Will is leaving for university in the fall, and no one knows if he'll ever return. When Victoria unexpectedly leaves for Europe, Will and Malina find themselves spending the summer alone together for the first time. As childhood memories give way to something deeper, stolen glances become lingering touches, and years of unspoken feelings begin to surface.

Some stories begin with love at first sight.

Theirs began with a raspberry bush.
