Strand Notes
Three-women burdened with children, demanding careers, and emotional issues look to escape the mania of their lives when they board of plane on their way to a vacation home in Nantucket. Vicki, her sister Brenda, and friend Melanie attempt to contain the hurricane of emotions that are building between them, when twenty-two-year-old Josh Flynn steps in. The native Nantucket resident quickly integrates himself into the women's lives, caring for their kids, while inspiring them to take action. But the easy distraction he provides will eventually end, and the girlfriends must decide if they can live without him. "Barefoot" is a funny and breezy novel both memorable and bittersweet.
Description
From marriage, infidelity, and the mayhem of motherhood to scandal, tragedy, and illness--three women seek peace and comfort in Nantucket as they cope with life's challenges.
Three women--burdened with small children, unwieldy straw hats, and some obvious emotional issues--tumble onto the Nantucket airport tarmac one hot June day. Vicki is trying to sort through the news that she has a serious illness. Her sister, Brenda, has just left her job after being caught in an affair with a student. And their friend Melanie, after seven failed in vitro attempts, is pregnant at last--but only after learning that her husband is having an affair. They have come to escape, enjoy the sun, and relax in Nantucket's calming air. But into the house, into their world, steps twenty-two-year-old Josh Flynn.
Barefoot weaves these four lives together in a story with enthralling sweep and scope--a novel that is as fun and memorable and bittersweet as that one perfect day of summer.
