Overview

The women who spent their childhood summers in a small southern town discover it harbors secrets as lush as the marshes that surround it...
 
Bonny Blankenship's most treasured memories are of idyllic summers spent in Watersend, South Carolina, with her best friend, Lainey McKay. Amid the sand dunes and oak trees draped with Spanish moss, they swam and wished for happy-ever-afters, then escaped to the local bookshop to read and whisper in the glorious cool silence. Until the night that changed everything, the night that Lainey's mother disappeared.

Now, in her early fifties, Bonny is desperate to clear her head after a tragic mistake threatens her career as an emergency room doctor, and her marriage crumbles around her. With her troubled teenage daughter, Piper, in tow, she goes back to the beloved river house, where she is soon joined by Lainey and her two young children. During lazy summer days and magical nights, they reunite with bookshop owner Mimi, who is tangled with the past and its mysteries. As the three women cling to a fragile peace, buried secrets and long ago loves return like the tide.

Editorial Reviews

APRIL 2019 - AudioFile

Unfold a beach chair, put on your earphones, and listen to the ultimate Southern beach story. Four very different women, portrayed by four uniquely talented narrators—Andi Arndt, Dorothy Dillingham Blue, Shannon McManus, and Lauren Fortgang—explore topics ranging from female bonding and relationship issues to medical malpractice, addiction, trauma, and the longing for a place to call home. Two “summer sisters” who spent past summers vacationing together in a charming cottage are reunited there. Each woman faces her own demons, but their lives are sorted out through lengthy and ponderous discussions and social interaction. The story is highly emotional, and the assembled cast makes the setting and the characters very real to listeners. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
