“The ultimate feel-good novel. Shelly Martel delivers a delightful, cozy read filled with colorful characters, sweet romance, and a charming setting. I loved it!” –Julianne MacLean, bestselling author of These Tangled Vines

Kristen Berquist has always been the reliable one: devoted single mom, beloved town sweetheart, and manager of her family’s lakeside café. But with her daughter off to college, Kristen is finally ready for her own adventure—and a fresh start far from her hometown of Autumn Harbor, Minnesota.

There’s just one problem: her estranged sister. Busy building a fashion empire in New York City, Joanna Berquist rarely sets foot in Minnesota anymore. But when their late mother’s will reveals a stunning stipulation, it forces a reunion neither woman wants.

As they navigate long-buried secrets, a handsome newcomer arrives in town and his friendship with Kristen blossoms into romance. With all their hopes and dreams at risk, the sisters must decide what truly matters: holding onto the past or opening their hearts to new beginnings.

“A captivating tale of second chances, The Sunrise Bay Café pulls you in with its warm charm and keeps you hooked. Perfect for fans of feel-good fiction who like their beach reads with a dash of intrigue.” –Susan Wiggs, New York Times Bestselling Author
