✦ Synopsis

In this compelling novel set against the beautiful backdrop of Ogunquit, Maine, the bestselling author of Tuscan Holiday and One Week in December portrays an unexpected friendship, and its consequences for two very different women as time inevitably sweeps them into adulthood

Over the course of one eventful summer, nine-year-old native Mainer Delphine Crandall and Maggie Weldon, a privileged girl from away, become best friends. Despite the social gulf between them, their bond is strengthened during vacations spent rambling around Ogunquits beaches and quiet country lanes, and lasts throughout their college years in Boston. It seems nothing can separate them, yet after graduation, Delphine and Maggie slowly drift in different directions

With her MBA, Maggie acquires a lucrative career, and eventually marries. Delphine is drawn back home, her life steeped in family and the Maine community she loves. Twenty years pass, until one summer, Maggie announces shes returning to Ogunquit to pay an extended visit. And for the first time, the friends are drawn to reflect on their choices and compromises, the girls they were and the women theyve become, the promises kept and brokenand the deep, lasting ties that even time can never quite wash away

An honest, forceful novel about love, family, and sacrifice.--Booklist on One Week in December

It does the trick as a beach book and provides a touristy taste of Maines seasonal attractions. --Publishers Weekly on The Family Beach House
