On the surface, thirty-six-year-old Brooke Valentine has a picture-perfect life: a gorgeous. Main Line husband, a precocious pre-teen daughter, a great career in advertising, and a stunning house in Philadelphia's Society Hill. But when her husband cheats on her--again--Brooke is devastated. Reeling from the blow, she takes her daughter and heads to the one place she feels safe: home. Alcott is a beautiful seaside town on the coast of New Hampshire. It's where Brooke and her two best friends, Sara Kemper and Claudia Reynolds, survived the trials and tribulations of high school--and forged a bond that could never be broken. Now, Brooke's marriage is crumbling, homemaker Sara has left her abusive husband, and Claudia--a successful designer--may actually be in love for the first time. Brooke would never have guessed that they'd all end up back in Alcott--and need each other more than ever. With her friends to lean on, Brooke learns to laugh again, to trust again, to love again--and discovers that though life may blow you off course, friendship can help you weather any storm.
