The Nantucket Restaurant

(The Nantucket Restaurant, Book 1) Set on Nantucket, this heartwarming 2025 release — penned by a USA Today bestselling author — is perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand ! Author Pamela Kelley invites listeners to step onto the shores of Nantucket, the perfect backdrop for your summer beach book. After their grandmother passes away, three sisters, each at her own crossroads in life, are surprised to inherit a popular Nantucket restaurant. But there’s a catch: Before selling it, they each have to work there for one year… Mandy, Emma and Jill O'Toole are as close as three sisters who live hundreds of miles apart can be. They grew up together on Nantucket, but have scattered around the country. When their beloved grandmother passes peacefully in her sleep a week before her ninety-ninth birthday she leaves them quite a surprise. In addition to her Nantucket home, they learn that they've inherited Mimi's Place, one of Nantucket's most popular year-round restaurants. They had no idea that she was the silent owner of a restaurant, and no idea how they're going to handle this kind of inheritance. There is of course, a catch―she left the restaurant equally to Mandy, Emma, and Jill―and also to Paul, the executive chef for the past fifteen years. And before they can sell, all three women need to work at the restaurant for a period of one year. Now they have to examine their priorities and figure out a way to make it work, all while discovering that Mimi's Place is in serious need of a facelift. The restaurant hasn't changed in years, and its finances are challenging. Meanwhile, Nantucket is a special place, a tight-knit and insular upscale beach community, both supportive and challenging.
