The Island by Elin Hilderbrand

This was a wonderful novel that wove together four women -- sisters, mothers, aunts -- dealing with very different things in their lives in the hopes that the old family cottage could solve all of their problems.  We have Birdie who is embarking on a new relationship.  There is India who is still dealing with her past.  Then we have Tate who is still feeling her way with relationships and then Chess who is working through the death of her ex-fiance.  There are fights and hugs and realizations that all work well together.  I have never had a problem feeling for Hilderbrand's characters and have never felt the situations to be so far fetched that it could not happen.  Hilderbrand did another great job with this novel.
