One of PureWow's "Best Beach Reads of Summer 2018"
New York Times best-selling author Karen White crafts evocative relationships in this contemporary women's fiction novel, set in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, about lifelong friends who share a devastating secret.
On the banks of the North Santee River stands a moss-draped oak that was once entrusted with the dreams of three young girls. Into the tree's trunk they placed their greatest hopes, written on ribbons, for safekeeping - including the most important one: friends forever, come what may.
But life can waylay the best of intentions....
Nine years ago, a humiliated Larkin Lanier fled Georgetown, South Carolina, knowing she could never go back. But when she finds out that her mother has disappeared, she realizes she has no choice but to return to the place she both loves and dreads - and to the family and friends who never stopped wishing for her to come home.
Ivy, Larkin's mother, is discovered badly injured and unconscious in the burned-out wreckage of her ancestral plantation home. No one knows why Ivy was there, but as Larkin digs for answers, she uncovers secrets kept for nearly 50 years - whispers of love, sacrifice, and betrayal - that lead back to three girls on the brink of womanhood who found their friendship tested in the most heartbreaking ways.

One does not get a hit of the book’s title until the bitter end and when it is read, you did not even realize that you even had a question about the title!!
Please Karen White, pick up your pencil and paper, your pen and paper, your laptop, your desk computer or even your quill and ink well (with paper), but start now, aw heck, even now seems a bit late, but get the new book written....please!!
Amazingly great book!!

This was not an easy “beach read”. I had to buy the Kindle version to sort out the characters and timelines in the beginning. I often replayed sections of the audiobook, understanding and feeling more nuances each time. The characters were well-developed and interesting. The Kindle edition was not a waste. I will go back and read it because I am not ready to let these characters go yet!
The narrators were perfect in their roles, and pleasing to listen to. Even though this was a book with many twists and turns and moments where I found myself holding my breath in anticipation of what would happen next, I would often drift off to sleep to the sweet Southern voices.
The ending was perfect. Satisfyingly tying up loose ends and leaving the listener with something to think about.
Well done Ms. White!
The narrators made the book come to life!
