    "description": "<p>When Kathleen Deane&rsquo;s husband, Tom, tells her he's no longer happy with his life and their marriage, Kathleen is confused. They live in Kansas. They&rsquo;ve been married thirty years. Who said anything about being happy? But with Tom off finding himself, Kathleen starts to think about what she wants. And her thoughts lead her to a small beach community on the east coast, a town called Whitbey that has always looked lovely in the Christmas letters her childhood friend Josie sends every year. It turns out, though, that life in Whitbey is nothing like Josie&rsquo;s letters. Kathleen&rsquo;s new neighbor, Rosemary, is cantankerous, and the town&rsquo;s supervisor won't return Kathleen&rsquo;s emails, but worst of all is the Sugar Cube, the monstrosity masquerading as a holiday home that Kathleen&rsquo;s absentee neighbors are building next door to her quaint (read: tiny) cottage. As Kathleen gets more and more involved in the fight against the Sugar Cube and town politics overall, she realizes that Whitbey may not be a fairytale, but it just might be exactly what she needed. Save What&rsquo;s Left can best be described as the &ldquo;un-beach read.&rdquo; It pulls back the curtain on life in a beach town, revealing the true cost of a pretty view. Told from the candid and irreverent perspective of a newcomer turned local, this is a story of forgiveness, fortitude, and second chances.</p>",
