Friendship takes center stage in New York Times bestselling
author Nancy Thayer’s captivating, emotionally charged novel
featuring all the tenderness and wit, drama and romance that
readers have come to expect from this insightful, much-loved
writer.
When they meet as girls on a beach in Nantucket, Maggie Drew
and Emma Hudson become fast friends—though Emma’s
well-heeled mother would prefer that she associate with the
upscale daughters of bankers and statesmen rather than the
child of a local seamstress. But the two lively, imaginative
girls nevertheless spend many golden summers together
building castles in the sand, creating magical worlds of
their own, and forging grand plans for their future.
Even as Emma falls for Maggie’s brother, Ben, and the young
women’s paths diverge, the duo remain close friends. Then
the unthinkable happens: a lifelong friendship is pushed to
its breaking point with the appearance of the handsome,
charismatic, charming, and incredibly sexy Wall Street
trader Cameron Chadwick—upending both of their lives.
Struggling with the difficult choices they have made and the
secrets they have kept, Maggie and Emma find the road to
love and fulfillment is full of bumps and twists, as well as
entirely unexpected and quite wonderful turns of the heart.
They also learn that while true love may be rare, a true
friendship is rarer still.
