Description

In the sunlit, salt-air world of Block Island, Ruth returns again and again to the one place that ever felt like home—until a new tragedy forces her to confront the grief she’s been postponing and the love she’s been circling for years. As she reconnects with Charlie and unravels a mystery tied to the women who raised her, Ruth must decide what parts of her past are truth, what parts are survival, and what parts she’s ready to release. Blending beach-read romance with family secrets and emotional reckoning, this debut novel explores how memory shapes identity, how love can both heal and complicate, and how reinvention becomes possible when you finally choose yourself. With Shannon Garvey’s vivid island atmosphere and propulsive, character-driven storytelling, June Baby delivers a tender, page-turning summer story about rewriting the life you thought you had to live.
