ABOUT THE BOOK
Where a tidal river meets the ocean sits the house that shaped Bonny Blankenship’s most treasured memories—of the
summers spent with her best friend, Lainey McKay. Known as the Summer Sisters, they read, swam and wished for
happy-ever-afters amid the sand dunes and oak trees draped with Spanish moss. . . until the night that changed
everything, the night that Lainey’s mother disappeared.
Now, in her early fifties, Bonny is desperate to clear her head after a tragic mistake threatens her career as an
emergency room doctor, and her marriage crumbles around her. With her troubled teenage daughter, Piper, in tow, she
goes back to the beloved river house, where she is soon joined by Lainey and her two young children. During lazy
summer days and magical nights, they reunite with bookshop owner Mimi, who is tangled with the past and its
mysteries. As the three women cling to a fragile peace, buried secrets and long-ago loves return like the tide. REVIEWS
“I adore Patti Callahan Henry’s new novel. The Bookshop at Water’s End is a juicy summer read about family secrets,
forgotten friendships, and the power of books to change our lives.”
—Jane Green, New York Times bestselling author of The Sunshine Sisters
“Patti Callahan Henry has written the best novel of her career with The Bookshop at Water’s End.
I absolutely adored it and predict it will be one of the most loved books of the year. In fact, it’s so good I wish I’d
written it myself!”
—Dorothea Benton Frank, New York Times bestselling author of Same Beach, Next Year
“Patti Callahan Henry’s stories are always woven with magic and mystery, and The Bookshop at Water’s End knots
these elements into a deeply satisfying and heartfelt tale of loss and betrayal, friendship and forgiveness. The sun is
shining, the tide is turning, summer and Patti Henry’s latest masterpiece beckon. Resistance is futile!”
—Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of The Weekenders
“From the very first page, Patti Callahan Henry draws you in like the tide, revealing long simmering secrets that will
test family and friendships and explores the question: do we tell our stories or do our stories tell us? In lush, lyrical prose,
Henry explores the power of forgiveness, especially in ourselves. Every page was a treat.”
—Laura Lane McNeal, bestselling author of Dollbaby
