Sisters returns to Hartley-by-the-Sea... Childhood best friends Rachel
Campbell
and Claire West have not only grown up, but after fifteen
years, they've also grown apart... After her father left, Rachel had to
dedicate her life to managing her household: her two
younger
sisters, her disabled mother, and her three-year-old
nephew.
When Rachel’s not struggling to look after all of them,
she
makes her living cleaning the houses of wealthy
families—inclulding the Wests, where a surprise now
awaits
her. . . .
A lifetime of drifting in other
people's currents has finally left Claire high and dry.
First it was her parents, then the popular crowd in
school,
and finally her fiancé. Now she’s returned to
Hartley-by-the-Sea to recover. But running into Rachel
brings back memories of past mistakes, and Claire wonders
if
she now has the courage to make them right.
Soon Claire’s brother, Andrew, asks Rachel to keep an eye
on
Claire, which is the last thing either woman wants. But
as
their lives threaten to fall apart, both Claire and
Rachel
begin to realize what they need most is a friend. The
kind
of friend they once were to each other, and perhaps can
be
again. . . .
