Silver Girl

Description

Meredith Martin Delinn just lost everything: her friends, her homes, her social standing -- because her husband Freddy cheated rich investors out of billions of dollars.

Desperate and facing homelessness, Meredith receives a call from her old best friend, Constance Flute. Connie's had recent worries of her own, and the two depart for a summer on Nantucket in an attempt to heal. But the island can't offer complete escape, and they're plagued by new and old troubles alike. When Connie's brother Toby -- Meredith's high school boyfriend -- arrives, Meredith must reconcile the differences between the life she is leading and the life she could have had.

Set against the backdrop of a Nantucket summer, Elin Hilderbrand delivers a suspenseful story of the power of friendship, the pull of love, and the beauty of forgiveness.

"Clearly the Madoff family inspired this plot, but Hilderbrand gives it her own sun-kissed, optimistic spin -- which is not to say it's all Rosa rugosa, just that there's a silver lining to the ugliest of circumstances." --Elisabeth Egan, New York Times
