Publisher's Summary

Two women, brought together by tragedy, strive to find themselves on Martha’s Vineyard. But it’s not easy to heal old wounds in a powerful novel about family, secrets, motherhood, and the cold grip of the past.

A desperate murder committed by Angela Miller’s mother tore Angela’s life apart and brought her to Martha’s Vineyard to live with her wealthy grandparents. It’s where her cousin, Kiki King, was born and raised, and Kiki now wants nothing more than to see the world beyond its sandy perimeter. Kiki’s mother escaped it. She took a late-night swim off Tashmoo Beach and was never seen again.

Once bound by broken childhoods, Angela and Kiki have grown up divided—by their obsessions, their love for the same man, and their own conflicted journeys of motherhood. But when a small box of bones is unearthed in the woods, Angela and Kiki discover there’s so much more to learn about each other, their families, and the dark side of the picturesque island they call home.

It’s time for Angela and Kiki to expose their secrets, to finally end a cycle of family drama and anguish, and to forgive and make peace with the past on their own terms.

What the critics say

“Secrets wash up like seawater in Addison McKnight's island tale of betrayal and deception, which proves one age-old truth. Nobody can hurt you like those who love you best.”—Jenny Milchman, USA Today bestselling author of Cover of Snow and The Usual Silence

“Suspenseful, dark, and emotionally riveting, The Vineyard Remains contrasts an idyllic setting with complex family secrets, which makes for a pacey and intense read.”—May Cobb, author of A Likeable Woman

The Vineyard Remains is a fast-paced, juicy read filled with bad blood and backstabbing, but beyond the dark secrets and tangled relationships at the center of the story is a necessary exploration of the ways in which trauma pins us to our past while trying to dominate our present.”—Megan Collins, author of The Family Plot

Unlikeable characters, weak women and selfish men.

None of the main characters were very likeable. I did not like the narrators voices, they kind of spoiled the story for me. The Kiki character’s delivery was very strange and stilted as if they have not been speaking English for very long, perhaps having come from outer space. Only slightly less annoying was the Angela character’s breathy style, especially when reading her name at the beginning of each of her chapters. The male characters are unintentionally comical, very over acted in my opinion.
I disliked one female character very much in spite of the author presenting her as sympathetic character because of her abusive childhood. After many years of appalling decisions and unjustified hostility the ending wrapped this all up neatly and quickly with the two cousins. So that’s all right then
