In a compelling and witty tale of romance thwarted, friendships renewed, justice delivered, and true love found, ninety-nine-year-old heiress Josephine Bettendorf Warrick summons attorney Brooke Trappnell to Talisa Island, her 20,000-acre barrier island home. The ailing Josephine tells Brooke she wants to protect her island and legacy, and make amends with the heirs of her long-dead closest friends, the girls of The High Tide Club named for their youthful skinny dipping escapades.
