For the past two decades, Rocky has looked forward to her family’s yearly escape to Cape Cod, but this year’s vacation has Rocky sandwiched between her half-grown kids and her aging parents. While their beach-town rental is a haven for sweet memories, sunny days, and messes of all kinds, but this year a change of events leads to Rocky reliving the past and coming to terms with the fact that she can’t hide her secrets from those she loves any longer . . .
Painting a vivid picture of family life and proving that middle-aged characters can be funny, sympathetic and downright fascinating, Sandwich is an endearing and engaging story of a family summer vacation full of secrets, lunch, and learning to let go.
“Newman has skillfully crafted both a setting and characters in this novel that will resonate with all in the 'sandwich generation' with caregivers for parents and children alike. Readers may laugh as much as they cry at the all-too-relatable situations and the razor-sharp witty conversations among the family members." -- Library Journal
