After the death of a childhood loved one, 5 best friends reunite in the small coastal town of Five Island Cove. One doesn't expect to find love with a high school crush. Another isn't prepared to find the strength she needs to take control of her life. And none of them are ready for the secrets they'll uncover at the lighthouse...

As the truth comes to light, these five best friends will learn what really matters: friendship, family, and faith.

Now a USA Today bestseller!

When Joel Shields dies, Robin Grover's only goal is to get her four best friends back to Five Island Cove to celebrate the life of Kristen's husband. She alone has stayed in the cove while everyone else couldn't wait to get away.

Alice Keller comes instantly, because her mansion in the Hamptons and her husband's infidelity is smothering her. Not only that, but Kristen has always been like a mother to her, and she wants to support her.

Eloise Hall comes quickly too, because she's not teaching at the university this summer, and she might as well visit her mother—and the house she secretly bought years ago. Her first night on the island, she runs into an old high school crush, and a flame ignites that hasn't been there before.

But Kelli Thompson and AJ Proctor are more resistant, and as Robin, Alice, and Eloise uncover secret after secret in the books, journals, and files in Joel's office, Robin becomes more determined to reunite them all.

When Kelli and AJ finally arrive in the cove, the women are embroiled in secrets the lighthouse has hidden for decades. Robin tries to hold them all together, but she too breaks down and admits that her perfect-on-the-outside life isn't so perfect.

As these 5 best friends work together to find the truth, they must learn to let go of what doesn't matter and cling to what does: faith, family, and most of all, friendship.

Good book, needs an editor though

This was a good book, although I’m not sure I’d classify it as a “Christian” book. I don’t need or want a book to preach to me, but there wasn’t any mention of faith in this book. It was clean from the standpoint that there wasn’t any bad language, which I appreciate. The story is good, although there are a lot of characters. I’m on book 5 of the series, and as I’ve progressed, I’ve gotten to know the characters, and for me, it’s been worth it as I’ve enjoyed each of the books so far. The one annoying thing is there are a lot of grammatical errors that could’ve been prevented if a good editor had proof-read it and corrected them before publication.

Lovely story with charming and heart touching friendships

I enjoyed this book so much, and found myself reading straight through to the end! It was interesting to learn about each of these ladies, the triumphs, the ups and downs of their lives, and the love they all shared with each other. Having moved from one end of the US to the other and then marrying a USN man and moving to a number of Naval bases, I have always wondered what it would be like to have life long friends. I did however enjoy meeting people from all over, and always was lucky to find a few special friends each place we lived, and it was wonderful to live in so many varied and beautiful areas. I guess I'm a gypsy at heart, but I always wondered.......and now maybe I know. Thank you so much, Jessie Newton! Back in the day we didn't have the internet, it was snail mail or expensive long distance phone calls, moving all the time made it very difficult to keep in touch. Book 2 in the series is now in my library and Book 3 is preordered. I strongly recommend giving this series a read, all the little twists and turns and surprises will have you captivated.

Gut aber mühsam.

Es war manchmal schwierig die 5 Frauen auseinander zu halten.

good read

Loved this book. The story line was easy to follow with no jumping back and forwards like some do. The characters were great and interesting in a light hearted way.
