Golden Girl by Elin Hilderbrand

When celebrated Nantucket novelist Vivi Howe is killed in a tragic hit-and-run, she finds herself granted one last summer — watching her loved ones from beyond, with the power to influence their lives three times. As her three children and best friend struggle with grief, secrets begin to surface, testing the fragile bonds between them.

From her celestial vantage point, Vivi must decide whether to use her limited interventions to protect her family, correct old mistakes, or guide them toward the truth — even when it might hurt.

Golden Girl is a luminous, heartfelt novel about love, loss, forgiveness, and the extraordinary ways we remain connected after death. With her trademark warmth and wit, Elin Hilderbrand reminds us that every ending can also be a beginning.
