They are love, those rare early friendships. As she travels to the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a reunion with three college chums, Kate Abrams ponders the past. Had she ever known anyone as intimately as these three? Theres smart, tough Cecie; foolish, lonely Fig; and pert wealthy Ginger, who married young Kates great love. Kate wonders whether such sublime bonds and such deep betrayals can survive the years. She is, after all, no stranger to lifes ironies. Her father, a poor Southerner, filled her with social illusions and took his life in the process. Her husband sustained her through later deaths. And now an ongoing battle with cancer puts Kates own life on the line.
Forced to face dark truths about her golden past, Kate discovers the meaning of life and the power of true friendship. Beautifully read by Kate Nelligan, mystery, madness, revenge and awakening await Kate Abrams and the listener on the Outer Banks.
