More about the book

Few writers capture the complexities, pain, and joy of relationships - between friends, family members, husbands and wives, or lovers - as beloved New York Times bestselling author Dorothea Benton Frank. In this charming, evocative, soul-touching novel, she once again takes us deep into the heart of the magical Lowcountry where three amazing women are bonded by another woman's death. Through their shared loss they forge a deep friendship, asking critical questions. Are they living the lives they imagined for themselves? Will they ever be able to afford to retire? How can they maximize their happiness? And, ultimately, their own legacies? A plan is conceived and unfurls with each turn of the tide during one sweltering summer on the Isle of Palms. Without ever fully realizing how close they were to the edge, will they triumph?
