Wake-Up Calls

Mariah Stewart

When middle-aged librarian Kit Porterfield learns that a woman named Maxine Meadows was the aunt she never knew existed, she inherits a rundown lakeside campground in small-town Maine along with a tangle of long-buried family secrets. As her own marriage and family life unravel back home, Kit stays in Maine to piece together old photographs and letters that reveal a tragic love story from her mother's hidden past. The novel blends a gentle, closed-door romantic subplot with a multigenerational mystery about sisterhood, motherhood, and the cost of family silence.
