Antiques lover Olivia Halsey adores second-hand goods, but
is afraid of becoming a first-time bride. So she and her
two best friends take a time-out on life to go home to
Bishop, Rhode Island, where they'll all learn what to throw
away-and what to treasure.
SummaryOlivia Halsey has never met a rummage sale she could pass
up.
But one-of-a-kind antiques at bargain prices are about the
only
thing she can stand to commit to. The sexy man she's
involved
with wants marriage, but Olivia keeps pushing him away.
That's
why she's going home to Bishop, Rhode Island. To put some
distance between them-and to repair some damage that's been
done to her childhood home.
Olivia's not the only one looking for a time-out. Her best
friends
Lexie and Claire, are heading to Bishop too-on the pretext
of
helping her fix up the house. A sexy television reporter,
Lexie is
ready for some soul searching. And the perfect Claire is
tired of
hiding her perfect family's faults. Coming home to Bishop
will
bring out the best and worst of their friendship, and the
best and
worst of themselves. If only they can learn to trust the
good parts-and help Olivia recognize what to throw away and
what to treasure...
