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

Love & Friendship

Through the past, friends once again become connected & learn to value their lives & loves. Good, easy read/listen.

It’s literary women’s friendship fiction.

It’s a bit of a mystery but not a murder. Who led a seafaring girls group. And this for girls in it who are now women in their 40s. The five are very close or had been. But only one of them stayed on the island as did the housekeeper‘s wife. But all five of them are gathered together on the island for the purpose of attending the man’s funeral.
It was the light housekeeper who died. He and his wife lived in the lighthouse keeper house and tinted the lighthouse

All five women are dealing with the secrets that come out and revealing things to each other and in that way with all these secrets, I suppose that’s where some mysteries is lie. The characters are very flushed out very strong. They’re five of them. Next line I got it mainly because it has a lighthouse in it. I didn’t really know too much about it. But it’s a great book for women who like both like dramas about friendships. Of course it has a lovely setting so good scenery. It’s well written. It’s definitely worth a read.
