Seven summers. Two families. One beach house. And a diary that holds all the secrets.
In the sun-drenched heart of Destin, Florida, the tide is turning once again for the Wylie and Lawson families. As one couple settles into a long-awaited dream house, a bold, life-changing decision could reshape everything they thought they wanted. Across town, a love story built on opposites faces its ultimate test—can two hearts survive when their beliefs pull them in different directions? Meanwhile, a beloved daughter returns home at a personal crossroads, searching for clarity, connection, and maybe even a second chance. And when Jo Ellen Wylie takes fate into her own hands, she sets in motion a chain of events that will deliver an unexpected twist that no one—especially Maggie—could have seen coming. Filled with family drama, later-in-life romance, beachfront sunshine, and the kind of emotional twists that only a summer in Destin can bring, The Summer We Let Go is a heartfelt continuation of The Destin Diaries, where every chapter is filled with love, laughter, and the promise of new beginnings.
