Three best friends who drifted apart. One epic summer trip to reunite them.

No one expected vibrant, fun-loving Justine Emerald to pass away at fifty – least of all her three high school best friends. Their shock is compounded when they return home for her memorial and hear the request in Justine's last will and testament: to take one last trip together to spread her ashes.

Valerie, the most outgoing of the bunch, is all for it. Her once-promising country pop career died in the 90's, and she has all the time in the world. Lisa is easily convinced, having just lost her job in less-than-ideal circumstances that she'd like to keep private. It's Michelle who has the most doubts – she's wary of spending so much time with her old friends, especially when dramatic Valerie is convinced Justine's ex-husband had something to do with her death.

Nothing ignites the bonds of sisterhood like a little scheming, though, and it's not long before Valerie gets the group into some hot water. Will white sand beaches, five-star hotels and a hefty dose of mischief be enough to bring the old friends back together, or will Justine's last gift to them be in vain?

The Summer Request, a standalone women's fiction novel, is the perfect beach read to pair with a tropical drink and a tiny umbrella. Download today and dive into this heartfelt, funny, summer adventure!
