The Boathouse by Stepping Stone Bay - Helen Rolfe

Description: Sun, sand and secrets at the bay!

As a kid, Nina O’Brien spent all her summers at her grandparents’ cabin by the beach at Stepping Stone Bay. Long, sunny days full of fun and laughter with her best friends, Leo, Adrian, and Maeve, her friendship with Leo slowly blossoming into love. Until one fateful night changed everything for them all…

Twelve years later, Nina must return to the bay to renovate the old cabin and pass it on to a new owner. But not only does Leo still live in the cabin next door, he works at his family’s boathouse right there in the bay. As they begin to work through their differences and what happened all those years ago, can Nina really walk away from him twice?

Maeve has finally returned home to face the past. Her eleven-year-old son, Jonah, loves the sea, unlike Maeve who is terrified of it. But she knows she can’t keep Jonah away from the sea or the truth forever

Why We Like It

We love Helen’s writing and in The Boathouse by Stepping Stone Bay, Helen has written a poignant and accomplished novel about loss, friendship and second chances. 

One of Helen’s many talents is the way that she always builds a sense of community, and in this book she creates a real sense of place with her atmospheric descriptions of Stepping Stone Bay.

Built around relationships, this evocative book will keep the reader totally absorbed until the very end. A perfect weekend read! Highly Recommended!
