Four well-known Nantucket couples that consider each other closest friends are Greg and Tess MacAvoy. The MacAvoys, Kapenashes, Drakes, and Wheelers are significant to their friends, neighbors, and most importantly, each other as cornerstones of their tight-knit community. However, Greg and Tess perish when their boat capsizes when they are sailing on their anniversary, just before another perfect summer begins. Nothing can prepare the closest friends of the MacAvoys for what will be revealed, not even the impending warm weather and the island's grief over their death.
Once again, Hilderbrand skillfully crafts a moving story of love and devotion against the background of an unending summer on an island.
