Set in her beloved home state of South Carolina, this classic novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels tells of four childhood friends whose lives collide once again at a wedding, with unforeseen results …

As children, Callie, Brie, Bode, and Sela shared a rare closeness, the kind that seems destined to last forever.

There, they learned about love, loyalty, and forgiveness, never realizing how little they really knew about each other or about Pearl, the woman who was a mother figure to them all.

Callie's upcoming wedding to wealthy local scion Wyn Archer offers an opportunity for a reunion, though reconnecting may not be as straightforward as the bride planned.

But despite their misgivings, they'll find themselves back together, confessing to feelings long unspoken, and confronting secrets that may change the rest of their lives …
