School is out, following a bit of saucy scandal at Downey House...
Beloved high school teacher Maggie Adair had been comfortably, if somewhat ambivalently, engaged to her dependable long-distance boyfriend Stan. But in the heat of summer, Maggieās attraction to her colleague David McDonald has caught fire. Now both are facing an uncertain future as they try to figure out how to stay committed to their careersāand each other.
Meanwhile, the girls of Downey Houseāmercurial Fliss, glamorous Alice, and shy, hard-working Simoneāhave had long summers at home, which werenāt quite the respite they had been hoping for. But the new school year is thankfully here, and it will bring new pupils and lots of fresh challenges for students and teachers alike at the school by the sea.
