Visiting Nantucket for the summer, three women seek peace and comfort as they cope with the challenges in their lives--from marriage, infidelity, and the mayhem of motherhood to scandal, tragedy, and illness. Three women--burdened with small children, unwieldy straw hats, and some obvious emotional issues--tumble onto the Nantucket airport tarmac one hot June day. Vicki is trying to sort through the news that she has a serious illness. Her sister, Brenda, has just left her job after being caught in an affair with a student. And their friend Melanie, after seven failed in vitro attempts, is pregnant at last--but only after learning that her husband is having an affair. They have come to escape, enjoy the sun, and relax in Nantucket's calming air. But into the house, into their world, steps twenty-two-year-old Josh Flynn. Barefoot weaves these four lives together in a story with enthralling sweep and scope--a novel that is as fun and memorable and bittersweet as that one perfect day of summer.

I loved this book and would recommend it for anyone who cares about their friends. The description of the scenery is breathtaking as well. I will definitely read this book again.

A new author for me to enjoy!
A perfect beach read. I guess you could call it chick lit but on more of an upscale level. After about 20 pages I was thoroughly sucked into the book. I have to admit at first I wasn't too fond of the main three characters: the frequently vomiting pregnant friend, the beautiful, self-absorbed younger sister, and the martyred, ill older sister. It seemed like they only tolerated each other and I began to wonder if I would barely be able to tolerate them too but after a while we learn more about the characters, to appreciate them, and really get into the story . I usually read a book over the period of a week but finished this in two days (and that's with a bad cold!). Only one thing I would like to know, where were the mature 22 year old guys like Josh when I was in my 20s? and maybe my early 30s? ;-)
This won't be my last Hilderbrand book.

Wonderful book for all that love Elin Hilderbrand. She is a wonderful person to follow and enjoy her books. I just purchased her last book and can't wait too read. All ladies out there should purchase her books and sit back and enjoy a wonderful day with this author.
