The story follows a woman from the Carolinas who married a New Englander whose family spent every summer up on the Maine coast, in a close-knit "colony" of other New Englanders (therefore very different from the Southerner bride). She remains different, but works her way into the hearts of some really nice people and in the end loves this spot in Maine more than any other place on earth. You follow her through 612 pages (in my copy, which has the same ISBN, but a different cover from the one pictured) of joy and tragedy, to the end of her life at a ripe old age.
