When Lily Ford returns to her lakeside hometown of Hideaway Bay for her grandmother’s funeral, the reunion with her estranged sisters is anything but easy as old wounds surface quickly. Recently widowed and still reeling from the secrets her late husband left behind, Lily finds herself at a crossroad, questioning everything about herself and the people she thought she knew.

Hideaway Bay was the childhood summer playground and eventual home of her late grandmother, Junie, and her best friends. Lily’s heart is tugged by the strings of memories, having spent so much of her own childhood along the beaches there with family and friends. Having believed for years that she was content with the fragile peace she’d made with the past, Lily is as surprised as any when she begins to question whether she wants to return to her life in California. Maybe you can go home again.

A generational saga about sisters and friends.

Review

"I'm completely hooked on Hideaway Bay. After chapter one the page's kept turning and I couldn't stop reading. What a powerful story, the characters so vivid and down to earth people with real life issues."-Amazon reviewer


"This is the very best book I have read this year....This book was so beautifully written it brought me to tears."-Amazon reviewer


"This is a wonderful read. I found myself settling down for the afternoon as once I picked this up that was it, I could not put it down! It made me laugh, it made me cry, it just has all the feels from the past and the present."-Amazon reviewer


"This is Brouder's first foray into women's fiction, and I absolutely loved it! The storyline instantly grabbed my attention - I didn't want to put the book down. There were parts that tugged at the heart strings, while other parts were humorous and light-hearted."-Amazon reviewer

What a great story! The family backstory shows up in between the current lives of three sisters, who are not as close as their grandmother would like them to be. There is a lot of emotion as the family suffers the loss of loved ones, and the joys of happily-ever-afters. It's just so real, as life usually is. I couldn't put this excellent book down!

3.0 out of 5 stars good story, but…
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2023

I wanted to wait a little bit before writing this to think about how to say what I think. This was SUCH a nice read almost to the very end. I was interested, I was invested, I was really emotional, and wrapped up in it.

And then it just got totally dropped!! It jumped right to a few short pages more than a year in the future and just ended. It’s like the author lost interest in the story. But I hadn’t! I wanted more. Characters and storylines were left hanging. And I get that’s partly because it’s a series, but even the main character in this one just got put on a shelf with us having no idea how she got there.

So I’m sorry, I don’t want to be mean, but it really just felt lazy and I was left sorely disappointed. I won’t even read the rest of the series because I don’t want to get invested again and left. It’s too bad. It was really enjoyable up till then!!

This book starts a series which I went on to enjoy. A pleasant story set in a place nicely described. It’s about three sisters and how they rebuild their relationships after time apart. Following the death of a beloved grandmother. The series continues wit aspects of life seen from other points of you, and goes back into history in interesting ways. All in all, a much better reading experience than I originally expected. Recommended.
