Summer on Highland Beach

A Novel

By: Sunny Hostin

Narrated by: January LaVoy

The View cohost and five-time Emmy Award winner Sunny Hostin transports readers to Highland Beach in the captivating third novel of her New York Times bestselling Summer Beach series.

In this awakening, spirited novel, Sunny Hostin celebrates family, friendship, and community and reminds us of the importance of the legacies of our collective past and finding one’s way in the world.

Founded in the late 1800s by the son of Frederick Douglass, Highland Beach along the Chesapeake Bay is the oldest Black resort community in America. Inside this proud and secluded beach community of about 100 private homes is Olivia Jones’s legacy.

But Oliva’s legacy comes with thorns—intertwined are secrets of her aunt’s death; a controlling grandmother who is determined to crush anyone or anything that will interfere with her son’s political career; and a father who wants to rebuild the family he rejected decades ago.

In the midst of tense family drama, Olivia must decide if she wants to return to the beautiful life she’s created in Sag Harbor—with the neighbors and wonderful man who’ve become central to her happiness—or finally achieve her dream of having a family and home to call her own in Highland Beach.

Excellent!

Excellent mix of fiction and nonfiction. I love this series! I look forward to the next one.

Highland Beach

This was the perfect ending to this series. I was praying Olivia would get her man.

Loved!

It’s so nice to read a modern contemporary family saga with people of color living successful lives. A nice beach read that is uplifting while still addressing some of the social issues of life. It can be read as a stand alone book. But the first two should not be missed.
