Described as "the undisputed boss of the beach read" by The New York Times, Weiner's new book, "The Summer Place," is a testament to family in all its messy glory. It's a story about what we sacrifice and how we forgive. Enthralling, witty, big-hearted and sharply observed, this book is Weiner's love letter to the Outer Cape and the power of home, the way our lives are enriched by the people we call family and the endless ways love can surprise us.
 
Weiner is the bestselling author of 18 books including "Big Summer," "Mrs. Everything," "Good in Bed" and an essay collection, "Hungry Heart: Adventures in Life, Love, and Writing." A graduate of Princeton University and a frequent contributor to the New York Times Opinion section, Weiner lives with her family in Philadelphia.
