Seven former best friends reunite and struggle to heal after the tragic death of one of their own in this evocative and heartrending novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Gift and Her Secret.
When word had gotten out that Andy Warner had committed suicide, everyone in Walnut Creek, Ohio, had been shocked. For seven men and women in their twenties, some Amish, some Mennonite, and some English, each of whom had once counted his or herself as one of Andyâs best friends, it had been extremely painful.
And, maybe, a source of guilt.
Years have passed since theyâd all been together last. Some of them got into trouble. A couple got into arguments. Eventually they all drifted apart. But even though none of them really saw each other anymore, there was a steadfast certainty that theyâd always have each otherâs backsâeven when no one else did. Their bond was that strongâŚuntil Andy did the unthinkable.
Now the seven remaining friends, still reeling from Andyâs death, have vowed to look after each other again. As far as theyâre concerned, it doesnât matter that theyâre now in their twenties and have drifted far apart. They need to connect againâŚfor Andy.
With her signature âtaut writingâ (RT Book Reviews), Shelley Shepard Gray delivers a lyrical and heartfelt tale of friendship and forgiveness.
