Friendship is at the heart of New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer’s emotionally charged novel that is full of tenderness, wit, drama, and romance, characteristics that readers have come to expect from this beloved writer.
When they first meet as young girls on a beach in Nantucket, Maggie McIntyre and Emily Porter quickly become close friends. Despite Emily’s mother's wishes for her to befriend the daughters of wealthy bankers and politicians rather than a local seamstress's daughter like Maggie, the two girls spend many memorable summers together building sandcastles, creating their own magical worlds, and dreaming big about their futures.
Even as Emily falls in love with Maggie’s brother, Ben, and their paths start to diverge, their friendship remains strong. However, everything changes when the charming and seductive Wall Street trader, Cameron Chadwick, enters their lives, disrupting their friendship.
As they struggle with difficult decisions and hidden secrets, Maggie and Emily realize that the journey to love and happiness is filled with challenges. They learn that while true love may be hard to find, the bond of friendship is even more precious and rare.
