Summary: June 1946. As the residents of Winthrop Island prepare for the first summer season after the sacrifice of war, a glamorous new figure moves into the guest cottage at Summerly, the idyllic seaside estate of the wealthy Peabody family. To Emilia Winthrop, daughter of Summerly's year-round caretaker and a descendant of the island's settlers, Olive Rainsford opens a window into a world of shining possibility. While Emilia spent the war years caring for her incapacitated mother, Olive traveled the world, married fascinating men, and involved herself in political causes. She's also the beloved aunt of the two surviving Peabody sons, Amory and Shep, with whom Emilia has a tangled romantic history. As the summer wears on, Emilia develops a deep rapport with Olive, who urges her to leave the island for a life of adventure, while romance blossoms with the sturdy and honorable Shep. But the heady promise of Peabody patronage is blown apart by the arrival of Sumner Fox, an FBI agent who demands Emilia's help to capture a Soviet agent who's transmitting vital intelligence on the West's atomic weapon program from somewhere inside the Summerly estate. April 1954. Eight years later, Summerly is boarded up and Emilia has rebuilt her shattered life as a professor at Wellesley College, when shocking news arrives from Washington--the traitor she helped convict is about to be swapped for an American spy imprisoned in the Soviet Union, but with a mysterious condition only Emilia can fulfill. A reluctant Emilia is summoned to CIA headquarters, where she's forced to confront the harrowing consequences of her actions that fateful summer, and a choice that could destroy the Peabody family--and Emilia's chance for redemption--all over again.

Summary: "A groundbreaking exploration of how to harness concepts from group therapy and the safety (and joy) of sisterhood to heal yourself and your relationships, from the licensed clinical psychologist who founded the award-winning podcast Therapy for Black Girls. There's an unlimited supply of books, articles, and listicles about how to work on a relationship and grow with a partner, but there are far fewer resources about what healthy growth looks like within a friendship. Dr. Joy Harden Bradford is here to change that. Healing through gathering is Dr. Joy's life's work; she founded Therapy for Black Girls, creating a space to make mental health topics more relevant and accessible for Black women and girls. Now, she dives into the wisdom of group therapy to help Black women strengthen and evolve within our sisterhoods. In Sisterhood Heals, Dr. Joy illustrates how concepts from group therapy are relevant to our lives, whether we realize it or not. She demonstrates how our real-life sister circles function in similar ways to the ones formed in group therapy. In Sisterhood Heals, Dr. Joy unearths the foundations of our connections, reveals the role of attachment theory in our friendships, offers solutions to rebuild after there has been a rupture in a friendship, and shares strategies for taking care of ourselves after a friendship ends. Drawing on her years of clinical experience, Dr. Joy provides actionable advice and scripts we can use to navigate difficult conversations and foster relationships that are not only positive, but transformative. With warmth, wisdom, and empathy, Dr. Joy reminds us that sisterhood is often a lifeline during difficult times and has the power to help us experience increased mental wellness and fuller, more satisfying lives"--
