From debut author Olivia West comes a heartfelt, laugh-out-loud novel about the summer that changed everything.

Every July, Laura and her family retreat to a quiet cottage by the lake—a place where time slows down, the air smells of pine and sunscreen, and memories stick like sand to wet feet. But this summer feels different. Laura's teenage daughter is pulling away, her mother is forgetting things more often, and her marriage is hanging by a thread held together only by tradition.

Caught between generations—raising a child while caring for a parent—Laura is stuck in the middle of everyone's needs but her own. As long-held secrets float to the surface, she must face painful truths and find the courage to embrace change.

Told with razor-sharp wit and poignant insight, The Sun Between Us is a tender portrait of family, love, aging, and the bittersweet beauty of letting go. It's about finding joy even in the messiest chapters of life—and realizing that sometimes the only way to move forward is by looking back.

Perfect for fans of Catherine Newman, Ann Patchett, and Elin Hilderbrand, this novel will stay with you long after the final page.
