And in them we&rsquo\;d write as we really were\, not as we w anted to appear. But there comes a day when journals outlive us. And wit h them\, our secrets.**Summer vacation on Great Rock Island was supposed to be a restorative time for Kate\, who&rsquo\;d lost her close friend Elizabeth in a sudden accident. But when she inherits a trunk of Elizabe th's journals\, they reveal a woman far different than the cheerful wife and mother Kate thought she knew. \;The complicated portrait of Eli zabeth&mdash\;her troubled upbringing\, and her route to marriage and mo therhood&mdash\;makes Kate question not just their friendship\, but her own deepest beliefs about loyalty and honesty at a period of uncertainty in her own marriage. \;The more Kate reads\, the more she learns th e complicated truth of who Elizabeth really was\, and rethinks her own c hoices as a wife\, mother\, and professional\, and the legacy she hersel f would want to leave behind. When an unfamiliar man&rsquo\;s name appea rs in the pages\, Kate realizes the extent of what she didn&rsquo\;t kno w about her friend\, including where she was really going on the day she died. \;Set in the anxious summer after the September 11th attacks\ , this story of two women&mdash\;their friendship\, their marriages\, pr ivate ambitions and fears&mdash\;considers the aspects of ourselves we s how and those we conceal\, and the repercussions of our choices.Nichole Bernier is a writer for magazines including Elle\, Self\, Health\, Men&r squo\;s Journal and Boston Magazine\, and a 14-year contributing editor with Conde Nast Traveler\, where she was previously on staff as the golf and ski editor and a columnist.
