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.
