Summary
The next original trade women's fiction novel from beloved best-selling author Robyn Carr. Carr is the number one New York Times best-selling author of the Virgin River and Thunder Point series. Her trade women's fiction novel Four Friends debuted at number five on the New York Times.
A television talk show host returns to her childhood summer home to rebuild her life after she's fired for falling ratings. The return is bittersweet as the house has been neglected for years. She's flooded with memories of the wonderful summers she spent with her sisters and cousins before a tragic event changed everything. Working to uncover what really happened the last summer they were all together, she reaches out to her family and the women all gather for an uneasy family reunion. As they share their stories, they realize their recollections of their summer childhoods are vastly different and no one's lives are what they'd dreamed of when they were children. But being together again helps them all to heal from the scars of the past.

Lovely collection of characters
It was nice to get a background of the women’s lives through the ages. The story was emotional and entertaining. I loved hearing about the older generation of women and their strength.

A Few Surprises
Terrific performance, great accent work. Story wasn’t as mushy nor contrived as I thought it would be. Touches on a ton of social issues, totally was caught up in this inter generational tale.

Endearing Family Saga
The plot would be familar to many families: divergent wishes and wrongly held perceptions that drew different factions of the family apart. It was predictable that a crisis of terminal cancer would be the catalyst for the unity of the family and happy endings for some, but never-the-less a pleasant listen.
