Very entertaining story of a group of misfits living on an underdeveloped spit of land in Florida. Janya, Wanda, Alice and Tracy all have problems that they prefer not to share and mind their own business, until another neighbor dies. When they try to find any living relatives, the group slowly become friends. It was nice to see them slowly come to understand and care for each other.

A fast summer read. ( )

Five tumbledown beach houses stand on twenty-five acres of land in Florida. One house is occupied by Tracy, owner of the property and landlord to the tenants in the other houses. The former trophy wife of a man now serving many years in prison, Tracy isn’t sure how to put her life back together. In another house lives Janya Kapur, who left her wealthy parents in India for an arranged life. Widow, Alice Brooke, has her son-in-law and granddaughter living with her since the death of her daughter. Wanda Gray is watching her marriage fall to pieces. And Herb Krause, well Herb is a mystery that will bring the women together following his death by natural causes. Each of these women will be drawn into the search for answers about the man Herb Krause was and each woman will find herself in the process and learn that friendship is the key to happiness. This was a pleasant read in the women’s fiction genre, and with the temperature outside my house resting at 0 degrees, it was nice to bask in the warmth of friendship and Florida. ( )
