From the time they were eight years old, Kip Stroud and
Shelley Ballard spent their summers together on Block
Island, swimming, biking, exploring...and growing up. As
teenagers, they argued about books, complained about chores
and learned from each other a little about the way boys and
girls viewed each other. They were best friends—until a
tragedy in Shelley’s life tore them apart.
Twelve years later, Kip has had to face his own tragedy.
When he returns to the island to heal, he discovers that
Shelley is now living there, older and wiser but bearing
emotional scars. He is scarred, too—something they can
share as they rediscover their friendship. But comfort and
compassion aren’t love.
Kip believes he will never love again. Shelley believes she
can’t love. Yet one night, their beliefs are shattered, and
they realize they have a lot more to learn from each other.
