About this listen

"Anyone who’s ever wanted to turn the page on their old life or felt the whispered promise of a new dream, and a fresh start will fall in love with Pamela Kelley’s charming new novel." —New York Times bestselling author Mary Kay Andrews

TWO LIFELONG FRIENDS.

Jess loves her work as a high-profile lawyer in Charleston. But when her marriage implodes, she retreats to her childhood home on Cape Cod with her thirty-year-old daughter, Caitlin, hoping to regroup with her longtime best friend, Alison.

ONE BOOKSHOP BY THE BAY.

Alison’s career has taken a hit after twenty years as an editor for the magazine Cape Cod Living. But when she learns her beloved bookstore on the Cape is looking for new ownership, a new dream starts to form.

AND THE SUMMER THAT COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING.

As the two friends reopen the bookstore, they also open themselves up to the magic of second chances.

"A wonderful multigenerational story about mothers, daughters, and friendship set in a quaint seaside town on Cape Cod. If you love talk of bookstores, delicious food and coffee shops, this one is for you!" —Rachel Hanna, author of the South Carolina Sunsets series

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Critic reviews

"Four women who are each discovering a new path in life. Taking chances, supporting one another, coming to terms with disappointment. Succeeding... Grab your beach chair, umbrella and a cooler full of snacks and enjoy." (Susan Wilson, New York Times bestselling of One Good Dog and What A Dog Knows)

"Pamela Kelley has crafted a wonderful multi-generational story about mothers, daughters, and friendship set in a quaint seaside town on Cape Cod. If you love talk of bookstores, delicious food and coffee shops, this one is for you!" (Rachel Hanna, author of the South Carolina Sunsets series)

"Who hasn’t dreamed of owning a bookshop? I know I have, which is why I loved Pamela Kelly’s story about a woman who makes that dream come true. Set in Cape Cod, Massachusetts (I could almost smell the salt air as I was reading), Bookshop By the Bay is a charming tale of friendship, love, and perseverance when life throws you unexpected challenges." (Mary Simses, bestselling author of The Irresistible Blueberry Bakeshop & Cafe and The Wedding Thief)
