When Victoria Leonard answers the phone in her Manhattan office, Caitlin's voice catches her by surprise. Vix hasn't talked to her oldest friend in months. Caitlin's news takes her breath away - and Vix is transported back in time, back to the moment she and Caitlin Somers first met, back to the casual betrayals and whispered confessions of their long, complicated friendship, back to Martha's Vineyard where two friends became summer sisters.
Caitlin dazzled Vix from the start, sweeping her into the heart of the unruly Somers family, into a world of privilege, adventrure and sexual daring. Vix's bond with this world forever reshapes her ties to her own family, opening doors to opportunities she had never imagined - until the summer she falls passionately in love. Then, in one shattering moment on a moonswept beach, everything changes, exposing a dark undercurrent in her friendship with Caitlin that will haunt them for years.
No writer captures the seasons of our lives better than Judy Blume. Summer Sisters is a riveting exploration of the choices that define us, of the families we are born into and those we struggle to create. It is an unforgettable story of two women, two families and the friendship that shape a lifetime.
