From the Publisher
"Almost divorced, Sophy is in bed with her new lover - an art dealer and father of four young children - when the police call her with shocking news. Her almost ex-husband, Will, has died suddenly on the Massachusetts island where she left him just months before. Dazed and grief-stricken, Sophy takes off at once for Swansea Island, hurled back into a life and a family - her husband's grown twin daughters and their prickly mother - she had intended to leave behind." "On the flight to the resort island she runs into an old friend, a celebrity lawyer who insists that she stay with him and his wife in their summer mansion. In the tension-filled days that follow, Sophy's past and present collide as she struggles to find out how her husband died, what role she might have had in the sudden disappearance of her boyfriend's ten-year-old daughter, and how she can maintain her equilibrium. The gulf between the island's summer people and its year-rounders is brought vividly to life in the process, as is the particular beauty of a setting that resembles Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard."--BOOK JACKET.

Okay, seriously. Note to self: YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BUY DUPLICATES FOR ANY REASON! LOL I found this in the trunk of my car tonight after it presumably fell out of its' sack. This was snagged at the Planned Parenthood Booksale in October.
I recently bought this exact book because I really wanted to read it, thought I owed it and then convinced myself I didn't. Well, I did. Now it's available since I've already read my other copy and it is currently reserved for another BXer. Geez, I'm such a dork!

I actually read this book in one day! A story of a woman, I think a little unsure of her life and the path to follow. Her husband really reminds me of mine, when someone is depressed you so often think it is you, when in reality, you have no control. But in the end she finds a way to make peace with her past and her future. Thank you, I really enjoyed this book.

I wanted to like this book more than I did. It is a quick read and I went through half the book in less than a few hours. Unfortunately, I found the story line to be slow and decided not to finish it. I'm hoping the next reader will appreciate it more than I did.
