Synopsis:
"Birdie Cousins has thrown herself into the details of her daughter Chess's lavish wedding, from the floating dance floor in her Connecticut back yard to the color of the cocktail napkins. Like any mother of a bride-to-be, she is weathering the storms of excitement and chaos, tears and joy. But Birdie, a woman who prides herself on preparing for every possibility, could never have predicted the late-night phone call from Chess, abruptly announcing that she's cancelled her engagement.

It's only the first hint of what will be a summer of upheavals and revelations. Before the dust has even begun to settle, far worse news arrives, sending Chess into a tailspin of despair. Reluctantly taking a break from the first new romance she's embarked on since the recent end of her 30-year marriage, Birdie circles the wagons and enlists the help of her younger daughter Tate and her own sister India. Soon all four are headed for beautiful, rustic Tuckernuck Island, off the coast of Nantucket, where their family has summered for generations. No phones, no television, no grocery store - a place without distractions where they can escape their troubles.

But throw sisters, daughters, ex-lovers, and long-kept secrets onto a remote island, and what might sound like a peaceful getaway becomes much more. Before summer has ended, dramatic truths are uncovered, old loves are rekindled, and new loves make themselves known."

Reserved for a person taking part in the 2012 Birthday Group RABCK. It is on her wishlist :-)

Off to...., member of the 2012 Birthday RABCK Group as a surprise for their birthday :-)

Happy Birthday!! I hope you enjoy reading this wish list book I picked for you.

Thank you Boekentrol for another lovely wishlist book. You are so generous and have added to my birthday joy.
I've put a pretty ID label in the book for you.

I really liked this book.I had a hard time to put it down. It was actually fairly predictable but had plenty of upsets and disagreements along the way to keep one guessing. Some of the stories for each woman are left hanging so one can choose how you would like the book to end. I was quite satisfied with three out of the four stories. The fourth one didn't really end. But then, that could be said about all of them. Ones life could change at any moment.

In memory of kayjay33, she so loved Bookcrossing!
