A Week at the Shore by Barbara Delinsky
Book starts with dedication then the story. Goes way back to when the character was a young girl and all the memories til she realizes the camera is the secret she uses.
It captures so much more than she can remember.
Joy her daughter and her were to read a book together but she started it without her mother.
Mallory now is a professional with her camera taking real estate pictures. She gets a call from her old hometown, Westerly, RI which I am familiar with.
Jack grew up together and he is her best friend. Her dad scolded Jack and he's calling to tell her that he also had a gun.
Jack thinks her dad shot his mother....Joy talks her mom into spending a week at the shore with her relatives: Annie her sister and her dad.
As they arrive in town to walk around and get lunch Annie calls from the walk in clinic where their dad has injured himself and they meet there then onto the home...
So much happens when the family reunites and other friends come visit and she learns the real truth about her father. The relationships throughout the years draw close together with the tragedy as they all try to heal with loss and sorrow.
Surprised when she has her job to get back to in NY but she still has memories of RI.
Like family secrets come to light, learning about approaching dogs, healing, locations, friendships, photography, catching up with family and funeral arrangements in detail.
Other works by the author are highlighted at the end.
I received this review copy from St. Martin's Press via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
