false 6080822 6 Greg and Tess MacAvoy are one of four prominent Nantucket couples who count each other as best friends. As pillars of their close-knit community, the MacAvoys, Kapenashes, Drakes, and Wheelers are important to their friends and neighbors, and especially to each other. But just before the beginning of another idyllic summer, Greg and Tess are killed when their boat capsizes during an anniversary sail. As the warm weather approaches and the island mourns their loss, nothing can prepare the MacAvoy's closest friends for what will be revealed. Once again, Hilderbrand masterfully weaves an intense tale of love and loyalty set against the backdrop of endless summer island life. 6257526 book 1 7 2009 The Castaways total:441|5:6|4:24|3:30|2:18|1:2| 441 1502 1025 154 2 0 false false Wed Sep 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 19:40:43 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 20:00:51 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 20:04:14 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 20:04:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 11:33:18 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 11:33:44 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Jul 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 17:19:42 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 20:55:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 true false Mon Oct 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 06:50:26 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 06:46:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Fri Oct 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 22:13:51 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 06:56:05 -0700 2009
