I don't think it had occurred to me before this trip, but as tight as the three of us are, we keep secrets from each other.
Having grown up together on the shores of Cape Cod, Ellenor, Emma, and Esme, three lifelong friends, are together again at Callahan's Cottage after five years apart.
Now in their thirties, these friends, bonded by their collective memories of a childhood spent roaming the beaches and dunes of the Cape, return with their new experiences, the joys and struggles of adult life, marriages, careers, family dynamics, and unspoken secrets.
Esme Prince has worked hard to create the outward appearance of having everything any woman would want. Driven by ambition and a need to succeed, she grew her bakery and catering business to receive the Best in Boston award. She has a son in college and a husband who adores her. But Esme wants something different.
Still reeling from the devastating betrayal by her husband, Emma Callahan, a renowned professional photographer, is finding it difficult to focus on her work and rebuild her life. There's got to be more to life than just photographing deliriously happy newlyweds.
Ellenor Snow is a best-selling author of more books than she can count. But with this recognition comes the responsibilities of book tours and speaking engagements for each new book. Constantly meeting expectations is leading to burnout, a condition she tries to hide with heavy drinking and partying, creating an unsustainable and unhealthy lifestyle.
Will this reunion unveil surprising, and possibly deeply buried, aspects of their personalities and life stories, potentially revealing things that have remained hidden from each other until now? The question remains: Will these revelations strengthen or sever what they think is an unbreakable bond?
