A Good Measure: A Novel
“Sinking into a Nan Rossiter story is like coming home.”-Robyn Carr
Return to Tybee Island off the coast of Georgia in USA Today bestselling author Nan Rossiter's third Savannah Skies novel, a heartwarming story about love, acceptance, finding your place in the world, and learning to carry on in the face of overwhelming loss.
It has been eight months since Libby Tennyson's husband, Jack, passed away, and now every afternoon when the fiery sun sinks below the horizon, she finds herself wandering through the empty old farmhouse in which they raised their six sons. Melancholy hour, she calls it-the time of day that was once a flurry of dinner, homework, and chores, but with her sons grown and on their own, she grieves for all she has lost-and worries about what the future holds for her youngest son, twenty-eight-year-old Chase.
All the Tennyson boys are handsome-but there's something about Chase that has always made women swoon. Growing up in the shadow of his older brothers, Chase was different-gentler, kinder, a boy with a big heart who looked after those most vulnerable. Though his family loves him deeply, Chase never felt he could truly be himself until he met Liam Evans, his partner in business and love. After six years, Chase and Liam are ready to make a lifetime commitment...yet both feel apprehensive including their very traditional families in their wedding planning.
But life is full of surprises, and Libby finds unexpected hope in her new stage of life when she connects with The Guild, a group of widows who get together every Thursday evening for wine, laughter, and companionship. Here, Libby not only discovers a safe space, but a place of honesty, and...growth. And while Chase and Libby may not see eye to eye every time, they can both always agree that love truly does win.
After all, a good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, is always poured back...because for all the measure you use, it will be measured to you!

After many years devoted to being a wife and a mother to six sons, Libby Tennyson is struggling to find a new routine as an empty nester and widow after her husband Jack passes away. She finds solace in her friends who are also finding their way as widows. Bonding over coffee and softball, the women of "The Guild" look out for and support one another through widowhood, cancer, and more. Libby's youngest son, Chase, has recently gotten engaged, but he and his partner, Liam, both worry about how their families will react to the news. Their plans of a small ceremony are upended when Chase's brother and his fiancée insist on having a double wedding at the family farm. How would Jack have felt having a same-sex wedding on his farm? The third book in the "Savannah Skies" series (following Promises To Keep) introduces lots of heavy situations, but characters overcome them quickly and easily. VERDICT Rossiter's domestic fiction tugs at the heartstrings and wraps everything up neatly at the end. Give it to readers who enjoy Denise Hunter, Jill Shalvis, and Debbie Macomber.—Portia Kapraun
