The Lost Summers of Newport by Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, and Karen White

In 1899, Ellen gets a job (under false pretenses) as music teacher to heiress Maybelle Sprague. She is helping to prepare Maybelle to sing for an Italian prince who is visiting Newport for the summer. Maybelle's older brother hopes that when the prince hears Maybelle's voice it will convince him to propose to her. Then, in 1957, the reader is taken back to Sprague Hall for the story of Lucky, who is unhappily married to Stuy Sprague, an alcoholic philanderer. Lucky wonders if she should stay in the marriage for the sake of their young daughter, Joanie. Fast forward to 2019 where Andie is working on a home improvement reality show where they are renovating three rooms in the decrepit Sprague Hall. The members of the Sprague family that Andie encounters while working there are demanding and entitled. In The Lost Summers of Newport, the reader is treated to three storylines revolving around the Sprague family and wonders how all the characters are related. It will be published in May.
