Christina Clancy’s debut novel, The Second Home, is getting a lot of buzz. In fact, it has been named Amazon’s “Book with Buzz” for June 2020. The American Booksellers Association also named it one of 10 outstanding summer/fall 2020 debut “Indies Introduce.” And there are more accolades. Clancy, who lives in Madison, grew up in Milwaukee. Her family has owned a cabin in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, since the 1890s and she visited there each summer as a child. The Second Home, published by St. Martin’s Press, follows three siblings just as they need to decide the fate of the family cabin after the death of their parents. Clancy will talk about the book via Crowdcast at this Wisconsin Book Festival event.

Tender and compassionate, incisive and heartbreaking, Christina Clancy's The Second Home is the story of a family you'll quickly fall in love with, and won't soon forget. After a disastrous summer spent at her family summer home on Cape Cod, seventeen-year-old Ann Gordon was left with a secret that changed her life forever, and created a rift between her sister, Poppy, and their adopted brother, Michael. Now, fifteen years later, her parents have died, leaving Ann and Poppy to decide the fate of the Wellfleet home that's been in the Gordon family for generations. For Ann, the once-beloved house is tainted with bad memories. Poppy loves the old saltbox, but after years spent chasing waves around the world, she isn't sure she knows how to stay in one place.
