Just off the coast of Washington state, a visit to beautiful Whisling Island will change you. Its residents will give you reasons to laugh, cry, and rejoice. Bess Wilder's entire life changes with one sentence: "I'm so sorry, Bess." Her husband, Jon, has betrayed her, and she isn't sure what to do or feel. Her entire life was dedicated to Jon and her children. Everything is wrong and life feels like it will never be right. So what can she do? Perfect Olivia Birmingham is keeping a huge secret. Her marriage has been a sham for years. But as long as no one knows the truth, Olivia figures she can deal with the loneliness. It's the shame that she wouldn't be able to stand. But when the truth comes out at the worst time and place, Olivia has to move on, whether she likes it or not. Deb Sterling, Bess's best friend, is there to pick up the pieces as Bess's entire world falls apart. While Deb tries to be strong for Bess, she reels from the betrayal in private. Especially because Deb's own marriage isn't in the most stable of places. Her husband has been temporarily living in London, thousands of miles from Deb and their home on Whisling Island. Deb feels the miles pulling them apart and is scared she'll suffer the same fate as Bess if things don't change. Owning the best hair salon on the island gives Gen Redding a front-row seat to much of her hometown's ups and downs. But somehow, even in the midst of gossip central, Gen has been able to keep the terrible rift she and her husband experienced a few years earlier between just the two of them. Thankfully, they are now in a better place than ever. But when Levi is confronted by a skeleton from his past, Gen just might break.

These five best friends made a Summer Sand Pact as teens and have only kept it once or twice—until they reunite decades later and renew their agreement to meet in Five Island Cove every summer. Alice Kelton's marriage is in shambles, and while she's always thought she'd stay with her husband, after her last visit to the cove, she went back to the Hamptons and filed for divorce. She and her twins are moving to Rocky Ridge in Five Island Cove permanently, but she's not telling anyone. Robin's husband is in Alaska for the summer, and she's pretending she's okay. Eloise comes back to the cove every couple of weeks so she can see her new boyfriend, though she's growing tired of the distance between them.

Kelli brings her son to the cove this time, knowing her relationship with her husband is on the rocks and desperate to fix it. She plans to get some help from her sisterhood during the two weeks in the cove. When she's followed to the beach house where the other women and their children have gathered, Kelli learns a dangerous secret thirty years in the making that could completely undo all the progress she's made... Get ready for more secrets to come to light in Five Island Cove, and for these five women to show each other what it means to love and support someone through thick and thin.

It was bad enough when she bore the brunt of his disinterest, but now her children are suffering. Lou won't stand for that . . . but she's not sure what to do.

Julia's family relationships have suffered havoc, but she is beginning to repair the damage. So when her niece Wendy calls her, sobbing and begging for help, Julia can't say no. Even if helping her severs any chance at rebuilding her relationship with Wendy's mom-Julia's sister, Lacey. Piece by piece, Piper is putting a life back together.

After darkness, there will always be light. A new beginning. Gen is more than ready to step up to her new role as Maddie's mother. The way that Maddie became Gen's daughter doesn't matter, just that she is. But just as Gen is wrapping her mind around her new role and embracing all things girly and pink, Gen gets a delicious surprise. However, as wonderful as this surprise is, can their brand new family handle any more change? Rich's betrayal tore Deb apart, but Deb now feels stronger because of what she endured--not that she'd ever thank Rich for the hell he put her through. Now a newer, stronger Deb is ready to jump back into the world of dating in the same way as any twenty-first century woman: online. As her best friend, Bess feels cautious about Deb's decision. But when Deb sees the handsome picture of the first man the site has ready for her, there's no talking Deb out of it. She is going to date ... and she's going to date that guy. Olivia is growing and moving on ... literally. She moves from her parents' home to rent the backyard cottage of none other than Dean Haskell--the saint of a man who has saved Olivia more than once. And although she senses her feelings of attraction growing for the man and thinks he might possibly feel the same way about her, Olivia knows the baggage she carries is still too fresh and heavy for anyone to deal with. Especially a man who deserves the world, like Dean. So against every female cell in Olivia's body, she decides that she and Dean will just be friends. Bess feels like her world has finally been righted. Her food truck is thriving, her children are moving forward, and her friends are doing well. After months of trying to decide what was best for her family, and especially for herself, Bess pulled the trigger on divorcing Jon. And although she will always have love in her heart for the man who was by her side for thirty years, the betrayal she experienced was too much to just let him walk back into her life. But when another man--ten years Bess's junior, charming, good-looking, and extremely into Bess--falls into her lap, Bess isn't sure what to do. Dating a new man feels wrong, but then so does going back to Jon. Join the women of Whisling on this next thrilling and beautiful chapter of their lives in New Beginnings on Whisling Island.

Literary legend James A. Michener was “a Renaissance man, adventurous, inquisitive, unpretentious and unassuming, with an encyclopedic mind and a generous heart” (The New York Times Book Review). In this exceptional memoir, the man himself tells the story of his remarkable life and describes the people, events, and ideas that shaped it. Moving backward and forward across time, he writes about the many strands of his experience: his passion for travel; his lifelong infatuation with literature, music, and painting; his adventures in politics; and the hard work, headaches, and rewards of the writing life. Here at last is the real James Michener: plainspoken, wise, and enormously sympathetic, a man who could truly say, “The world is my home.” BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's Hawaii. Praise for The World Is My Home “Michener’s own life makes one of his most engaging tales—a classic American success story.”—Entertainment Weekly “The Michener saga is as full of twists as any of his monumental works. . . . His output, his political interests, his patriotic service, his diligence, and the breadth of his readership are matched only by the great nineteenth-century writers whose works he devoured as he grew up—Dickens, Balzac, Mark Twain.”—Chicago Tribune “There are splendid yarns about [Michener’s] wartime doings in the South Pacific. There are hilarious cautionary tales about his service on government commissions. There are wonderful inside stories from the publishing business. And always there is Michener himself—analyzing his own character, assessing himself as a writer, chronicling his intellectual life, giving advice to young writers.”—The Plain Dealer “A sweepingly interesting life . . . Whether he’s having an epiphany over a campout in New Guinea with head-hunting cannibals or getting politically charged by the melodrama of great opera, James A. Michener’s world is a place and a time worth reading about.”—The Christian Science Monitor
