Against the Current by Katie Winters

An empty mansion on Nantucket Island. A once-proud family, split down the middle. And a dramatic return that unravels secrets from the past.

Is forgiveness possible after so much pain?

It’s been fifteen years since Jackie watched her only son marry the love of his life at the Sutton Estate. She couldn’t have known that glorious day of celebration would end in devastation — one that led the entire Sutton family to a crossroads that her relationship with her son didn’t survive.
Now that Jackie is in her sixties, she’s ready to retire and, together with her beloved husband, begin a new era. But her real estate business isn’t what it once was, and, after following a financial planner’s terrible business advice, her bank account suggests she’ll never retire — not comfortably, anyway.
That’s when a new financial planner suggests the worst: “If you want to retire, you have to sell the Sutton Estate.”
Jackie can’t take it. The Sutton Estate has been in the family for generations. It’s where Jackie herself was raised, where numerous family parties and engagements were held, and where both her father and mother passed away.
No matter how complicated her mother was, Jackie still wants to hang onto her memory as long as she can.
But a surprise phone call from Jackie’s only son Ryan forces Jackie’s creativity in gear. Maybe there’s a way to save her career, the Sutton Estate, and her relationship with her son.
Maybe, if Ryan brings his family back to Nantucket, they can find a way to start over together.

Dive into book six of The Sutton Book Club series, which digs into the heart and soul of the Sutton family, the power of truth and love, and the complex nature of human relationships.
