This book is the perfect summer-time story. It takes place in a Nantucket cottage during the summer and focuses on the lives of 3 women. Each of them have their own story, and hardships to share. One woman, Vicki, has been diagnosed with cancer that will kill her soon. Her sister, Brenda, lost her job after having an affair with one of her students. The third woman is their friend Melanie, who was invited to the cottage to forget their problems and have peace. Melanie finally got pregnant after numerous failed attempts, but now her husband is cheating on her. These three women seek comfort and an escape from their problem some lives, which is why a trip to Nantucket is necessary. That is their tradition, and they believe it can heal any wounds. Hilderbrand writes this story with incredible description and vivid imagery which makes me feel as though I am in the cottage too. I like the feeling of the story - it's warm and filled with love. It's a sweet story, but kind of slow. It would be more ideal as a summer book because I could sit and relax and read it for however long I wanted. It would be more enjoyable that way, but overall it is so far pretty good.
