Book Details

A chance Hawaiian encounter changes their lives forever.

Three passengers, traveling separately, fly to Hawaii lacking the excitement of the others onboard. Each is struggling with a problem that threatens the fabric of their life. Glynnis Paxton, a shy Philadelphian, seems destined to a colorless future after the death of both parents. Pushed unwillingly into this trip, she is trapped and afraid, and fears her future will be just one dreary day following another. But her life is about to take on unexpected changes she could never have imagined. Allison Bradley, resourceful and lively Alaskan, sees that her happy marriage has suddenly plunged into disarray. She is taking time alone to find a way to repair the damage. Susan Michaels, talented and self-reliant San Francisco lawyer, is exhausted. Saddened when marriage plans collapse, and weakened by the stress of work, she feels helpless to control her life, and seeks rest and peace in the Islands she knows so well. Instead, a bombshell is thrown into her shaky life, and through the following days of confusion and torment, she struggles to find the key that will bring her world into harmony. Strong bonds of trust and friendship grow when the three are thrown together by unexpected and dramatic events. Through ten days, despite unusual and sometimes grim challenges, each works to resolve her problem. And through a fascinating, fast-paced chain of events, their lives are changed and strengthened by the synergy that develops between them. You will remember these women long after you finish the book.
