BEAUTIFUL RUINSBy ELIN HILDERBRAND

BEAUTIFUL RUINSMATCHMAKER

48-year-old Nantucketer Dabney Kimball Beech has always had a gift for matchmaking.

Some call her ability mystical, while others - like her husband, celebrated economist John

Boxmiller Beech, and her daughter, Agnes, who is clearly engaged to the wrong man - call

it meddlesome, but there's no arguing with her results: With 42 happy couples to her credit

and all of them still together, Dabney has never been wrong about romance.

Never, that is, except in the case of herself and Clendenin Hughes, the green-eyed boy

who took her heart with him long ago when he left the island to pursue his dream of

becoming a journalist. Now, after spending 27 years on the other side of the world, Clen is

back on Nantucket, and Dabney has never felt so confused, or so alive.

But when tragedy threatens her own second chance, Dabney must face the choices she's

made and share painful secrets with her family. Determined to make use of her gift before

it's too late, she sets out to find perfect matches for those she loves most. The

Matchmaker is a heartbreaking story about losing and finding love, even as you're running

out of time.
