The Beach House by Sally John is a poignant read about four friends coming together after a decade of being apart.
Jo, Molly, Char and Andie were a tight-knit team in their younger years, but with careers, marriage and children the four slowly slipped away from each. When Jo starts to question her life choices she yearns to re-connect with her friends after more than a decade of seeing each other. When Jo contacts each of her friends and offers a beach vacation in California the four are a little apprehensive, but decide a reunion might be what each of them need.
Char's marriage has hit a dry spot. She feels invisible to her husband and her teenage children are trying at best. Molly is wife to a pastor and four children she dearly loves, but as of late yearns to be seen other than a wife and a mom. Andie has know for years her husband has been unfaithful and his constant criticisms has left her fearful of everything. At this time her only saving grace are her two sons. And Jo is having doubts about her successful medical career and longs to give everything up to help those less fortunate, but the lifestyle she has grown accustomed to has her doubting her every decision.
As the women come together for a week each will voice their fears and frustrations and depend on each other to have the courage to change. Friendships are strengthened and hearts are lifted as these four best friends unite in faith and hope to face their futures.
I really enjoyed this book. What I liked most is the love and support these friends gave each other after being apart for many years. It really proved that true friendships can stand the test of time. I liked all the characters, but particularly liked Andie. A one-sided marriage had beat her down for so many years. It was really satisfying to see her embrace her fears and finally come out of her shell. It took a lot of courage on her part, but it was all for the best. All the women made changes for the better and all came away with a new perspective of how much they all really meant to each other. All in all a great book about faith and love and the bonds of friendship. A really good read.
