Book Description:
Twenty-five years ago three friends grew from girls to women on the sandy shores of Hubbard's Point, Connecticut, forging a bond they swore would last always. Then time and distance drew them apart- and one was lost forever. Now her nine-year old daughter has returned to the Point with her widowed father, longing to find the "beach girls" of her mother's stories.
But after years of heartbreak, artist Stevie Moore has withdrawn into a self-imposed exile. And for Maddie Kilvert, Hubbard's Point has become a place where innocence and tragedy forever intertwine. Can memories of blue skies and laughter bring them together again to embrace a lonely girl and a wounded man? If they can believe once more in the power if the past and the magic of a new summer, it may light the way toward a new chance at love for them all....

Great beach read.... about three girls who grew up together on a Connecticut beach. A great story about friendship that travels generations and lasts forever

This is a tale of the friendship of three girls who grew up on the shores of Hubbard's Point, Connetticut. As women, they lost touch but they're all still connected as "The Beach Girls".I loved its simplicity and honest good story--- but didn't like the bit about the Catholic priest deciding to chuck his vocation for a fling with a married woman. I've been Catholic for many years and have never met a priest who would even contemplate such a thing.

While summering in the seaside town of Hubbard's Point, Conn., Emma Lincoln, Stevie Moore and Maddie Kilvert, the titular beach girls, were inseparable, but as adults, they've drifted apart. Stevie lives like a hermit in Hubbard's Point, unaware that her old friend Emma died in a car crash, leaving behind a husband, a child and secrets. When widower Jack brings his daughter, Nell, to the Point, Nell searches out her last link to her mother: Stevie.

An easy read, an enjoyable story of coming to terms with loss and love and disappointment.

This book continues the story of the three women introduced in "Beaches." It's a beautiful book, as Rice's writing is not shallow, and one becomes absorbed very quickly. Highly recommended.

For some reason this book just didn't hold my attention; too predictable.
