Most people don’t even notice them – three tiny figures 
sitting at the end of a long pier in the corner of one of the most famous paintings in 
the world. Most people think it’s just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa, an aspiring 
artist herself, knows otherwise, and she is determined to find out the story of these 
three enigmatic figures. Twenty-five years earlier, in a distant seaside town, a group 
of teenagers find refuge from their bruising home lives by spending long summer 
days on an abandoned pier, telling silly jokes, sharing secrets, and committing 
small acts of rebellion.

These lost souls find in each other a reason to get up each 
morning, a reason to dream, a reason to love. Out of that summer emerges a 
transcendent work of art, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into 
eighteen-year-old Louisa’s care. She embarks on a surprise-filled cross-country 
journey to learn how the painting came to be and to decide what to do with it. The 
closer she gets to the painting’s birthplace, the more nervous she becomes about 
what she’ll find. Louisa is proof that happy endings don’t always take the form we 
expect in this stunning testament to the transformative, timeless power of friendship 
and art.

There are so many options I'm not sure what to choose!
