The Second Home by Christina Clancy

The Gordon family has had a summer home on Cape Cod for generations. Ann and her younger sister, Poppy, look forward to travelling there each summer with their parents from their home in Milwaukee. When the girls are in their teens, the family adopts Michael, who is the same age as Ann. As the children near adulthood, the family becomes fractured and the vacation home is no longer a place of happiness and refuge, but rather of conflict and division. Will the Gordons eventually be able to all come together again? The Second Home is a great read-alike for the novels of Jamie Brenner and Ask Again, Yes by Mary Beth Keane.
