Sunshine and friendship help chase away the shadows.

Packing is the last thing Kit Robinson needs to cross off the to-do list before her long-anticipated girls' trip. She can't wait to enjoy an icy cocktail under a hot Hawaiian sun with old friends, where they'll toast the keeping of a thirty-year promise.

But when a terrifying tornado sends Kit racing through a dark night, her time in the sun is in jeopardy. Surprises await her back home. Has Kit's estranged mother returned? If that dreadful woman is back, chaos isn't far behind. Kit's fiancé does his best to persuade her to stick with her original travel plans, but her grandmother needs her. Shouldn't she stay?

Then Kit stumbles across yet another secret and the wash of pain overshadows everything. How could the person she trusts more than anyone else in the world lie to her about something so important?

Overwhelmed, Kit needs to escape the lies. Her lifelong friends know how deep her scars run and they'll understand why these latest bombshells are rocking Kit's carefully orchestrated world.

Her friends will know what to do.
