About this ebook

Sisterhood, safety, and secrets -- it all happens at the lighthouse on Five Island Cove.


When Joel Shields dies, Robin Grover's only goal is to get her four best friends back to Five Island Cove to celebrate the life of Kristen's husband. She alone has stayed in the cove while everyone else couldn't wait to get away. 


Alice Keller comes instantly, because her mansion in the Hamptons and her husband's infidelity is smothering her. Not only that, but Kristen has always been like a mother to her, and she wants to support her.


Eloise Hall comes quickly too, because she's not teaching at the university this summer, and she might as well visit her mother—and the house she secretly bought years ago. Her first night on the island, she runs into an old high school crush, and a flame ignites that hasn't been there before.


But Kelli Thompson and AJ Proctor are more resistant, and as Robin, Alice, and Eloise uncover secret after secret in the books, journals, and files in Joel's office, Robin becomes more determined to reunite them all. 


When Kelli and AJ finally arrive in the cove, the women are embroiled in secrets the lighthouse has hidden for decades. Robin tries to hold them all together, but she too breaks down and admits that her perfect-on-the-outside life isn't so perfect.


As they work together to find the truth, they learn to let go of what doesn't matter and cling to what does: faith, family, and most of all, friendship.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book but i was hooked from the get go, you totally connect with the characters and feel like yo go through all the ups and downs of emotions with them. With Joel's death each and every one of the 6 women find out a secret relating to each of them and they must rely on each other not to let the new truths break them, the fact that each of them is already going through something already compounds things and makes you want to reach out and hug them and tell them it's going to be OK. Now don't worry there are still plenty of laughs, embarrassing moments and a sisterhood that we all want to strive for. I can not wait to read the next book so I can see whats install next for the ladies!!! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Excellent story. We'll developed characters. Minus one star for the proof reading. Many sentences with scrambled words. Enough to mention but no where near as annoying as some books I've read. I'll probably buy more books in the series.

One of if not the best book I have read in a long time. A wonderful gift of storytelling that puts you right in the heart of these women's lives. Every time I picked it up to read I felt I had come home.
