Starlight & Dark Nights (Stardust Beach, #4)

She’s mastered the art of hiding.

Now she has to find the courage to be seen.

Jude Majors seems to have it a handsome astronaut husband, beautiful twin daughters, and a house on Florida’s sparkling Stardust Beach. But behind the polished smile and perfect life, Jude is drowning. Haunted by a painful childhood shaped by wartime prejudice, she’s spent decades silencing the parts of herself that felt too different, too broken, too “other.” Now, the cracks are starting to show.

Drinking has helped her cope—until it nearly kills her.

Faced with terrifying consequences, Jude must finally confront the past she’s worked so hard to bury and the identity she’s long been taught to hide. But healing doesn’t happen in isolation—and this time, she won’t have to do it alone. With the fierce, loyal women of Stardust Beach by her side, Jude may find that even the darkest parts of her story deserve compassion, and even the most fractured hearts can shine again.

Raw, redemptive, and deeply human, Stardust Book Four is a gripping story of self-acceptance, found family, and the strength it takes to reclaim your voice. For fans of Kristin Hannah, Jodi Picoult, and Jennifer Chiaverini.
