A summer wedding, a college reunion, a gorgeous Maine
beach house—it's the ideal setting for bestselling author
Holly Chamberlin's captivating novel about the connections
that shape us, sometimes break our hearts, and forever
change our lives…
Bess Culpepper has long
been sure of two things—that her group of college friends
would stay close, and that love is worth the wait. At
forty-two, she's found the right man, and she's
celebrating her upcoming wedding by inviting her best
friends to beautiful Kennebunkport.
Bess has always
been at the helm of these reunions, herding everyone
together despite distance and outside commitments. As usual,
Marta and Mike journey from their home near New York City,
while Chuck and his husband, Dean, travel from Los Angeles.
But Allison, half of a devoted couple since college, is
making the trip from Chicago without her husband, Chris.
None of the others knows the reason for their impending
divorce. There are other tensions too. The usually
level-headed Marta is conspicuously on edge, and Chuck
reveals devastating personal news.
As reality
encroaches on her dreams of the perfect gathering, Bess
begins to second guess her assumptions about friendship and
fidelity. If relationships like these, nurtured over
decades, can flounder, how can any couple stay committed? Is
it possible to truly know the ones we love—or even to
predict where one's own path will lead?
