Bonny Blankenship's most treasured memories are of idyllic summers spent in Water's End, South Carolina, with her best friend Lainey McKay, swimming, or reading at the local bookshop. Until the night that changed everything, the night that Lainey's mother disappeared. Now, in her early fifties, Bonny is desperate to clear her head after a tragic mistake threatens her career as an emergency room doctor, and her marriage crumbles around her. With her troubled teenage daughter, Piper, in tow, she returns to the beloved river house, and is joined by Lainey and her two young children. Reuniting with bookshop owner Mimi, the three women cling to a fragile peace as buried secrets and long ago loves return like the tide.
