Becca Meister has spent all of her summers living at her family’s estate in Rhode Island.  The property is named “Eden” and has been owned by her family through multiple generations.  Now in her 70’s, Becca is the current owner along with her two brothers. Her secure life becomes unhinged after her husband’s death .  She finds out that he has mismanaged their retirement funds and she can no longer support the upkeep on the house.  She is forced to reach out to her family for help.   

Fearing that this could be her last summer in Eden, she invites her children along with her brothers and extended family to celebrate July 4th. With the entire clan present, she hopes to secure a future for Eden.  Becca decides that it’s also time to reveal some Meister family secrets that originated in the house.  

The mystery unfolds with Eden as a common thread that keeps the family connected.  Throughout the highs and lows of each individual story, love and family prevails. I enjoyed reading this family saga by Jeanne McWilliams Blasberg.
