June Baby: A Novel
June Baby by Shannon Garvey tells the story of Ruth, a woman whose life is defined by a single, transformative summer on Block Island.
The Story
At seventeen, following the death of her mother, Ruth was sent to the island to live with a photographer named Diana. That summer became her sanctuary; it was where she discovered her passion for writing and fell deeply in love with Diana’s nephew, Charlie.
Ten years later, Ruth is still caught in the island's pull, living for the summers and merely scraping by the rest of the year. When a new tragedy strikes, she turns to Charlie for comfort, only to be met with a shocking revelation.
Everything Ruth thought she knew is challenged when she receives a mysterious box left by Diana. The contents force her to question her past and the women who raised her. Surrounded by golden dunes and seaside sunsets, Ruth must decide if she will stay anchored to her grief or find the courage to rewrite her future. It is a moving tale of love, secrets, and the beauty of new beginnings.
