Wilhelmina "Mena" Prescott, was at a crossroad in her life. Behind her were strained family relationships and her husband's affair. Ahead she could only see two possibilities for her future. Remaining in her unhappy marriage, or moving forward alone. But upon the unexpected death of her grandfather, a third road appeared to a long forgotten cottage on Brandford Beach. By way of a letter delivered to her on the day of his funeral, Mena's grandfather made a request for her to go to his cottage and gather up his precious belongings. Needing some time to think about her future, Mena decided to start down this newly available third path. But as she headed down 95 from Connecticut to Delaware, she couldn't possibly have known that her grandfather's letter wasn't quite as simple as it seemed. He had not only given her ownership of his beloved cottage, but also the chance to revisit her past. Rediscover the grandfather that she hadn't known since she was a child, through his cards, letters, and the people of Brandford Beach that loved him the most, including the kind and handsome Chase Harper. That Autumn in Brandford her grandfather, and his gift of a third road, had given her a chance to heal, and the chance to see a future she never would have thought possible.
