Once, a secret tore two friends apart. Now, it can bring them together. A novel about love and redemption from bestselling author Barbara Delinsky.
Charlotte and Nicole were once best friends, spending memorable summers together on an island in Maine. However, many years and many secrets kept them apart.
When Nicole agrees to write a book about local cuisine, she invites her old friend, now a successful writer, to work together.
But what both women don't know is that they're hiding something that could change their lives forever. For Nicole, what comes to light could destroy her marriage, but it could also save her husband. For Charlotte, the truth could cost Nicole her friendship, but it could also free her to love again. And her chance may lie with a reclusive local man with a heart to soothe and his own problems.
As much as the island rekindles the excitement of the old days, the friends must face their ghosts and suffer the potential consequences of honesty. Hearts will open beneath the stars, and long-forgotten secrets will float on the gentle sea breeze.
