This was a true beach read, and yet, it had some depth. I enjoyed it a lot. It is about Claire Danner Crispin who lives on Nantucket with her husband and four children. Due to an accident while pregnant with her fourth child, she has decided that she will not work, but instead will just raise her children. As a well-renowned glass blower with pieces in museums, it is a decision that leaves her empty inside. And when she is asked to co-chair the Summer Gala, a huge charity event, she goes from being the perfect mother to having an affair with the rich man who also convinces her to return to her art. The fact that she doesn't realize that it is her art that is making her feel alive -- not the balding, slightly pudgy man she is sure she is in love with; only makes the reader want what is best for Claire and her family. In fact, I just downloaded a couple of other books by Hilderbrand to my Kindle -- and I am lucky, she has written 8!
