Martha’s Vineyard’s Sisters of Edgartown face their forties – a decade of change, of heartache, of divorce, of illness, and of second-chances and love. Just as they’ve done everything else, they’ll do this together. Side-by-side, till the end.

Twenty-three years ago, Jennifer Connelly’s twin sister, Michelle, died in a boating accident. She was the sixth Sister of Edgartown, the best-friendship-group that struck gold with one another at age four – Jennifer, Michelle, Olivia, Mila, Camilla, and Amelia.

The accident changed their lives forever, of course – but it hit Jennifer particularly hard. Michelle had been so much of what Jennifer wasn’t: wild and electric and untethered.

Now, just weeks from her forty-first birthday, Jennifer faces another season of strife. In the previous year, her marriage ended; her son got engaged; and her father took to the bottle hard. Just when she throws herself totally into her social media business, she receives a call from Camilla, a nurse at the hospital: her mother has had a stroke.

It seems likely her already-broken family has even more breaking to do.

Her mother’s recovery is a long one. Never one to give up, Jennifer throws herself into her mother’s bakery, the Frosted Delights, as Christmas approaches. There’s no way she’ll let that third-generation bakery fall apart. Not when everything else is.

But a handsome stranger may stand in the way of the business. He demands she leave the premises, as he bought the property months ago – and has plans to tear it down to break ground on yet another hotel and event space.

Jennifer and the other Sisters of Edgartown must pull together to fight for the Frosted Delights Bakery, for their families, and for the island of Martha’s Vineyard itself. They’ve already lost so much. There’s no way they’ll let him take this.
