I really enjoyed this book.  At first, I admit I thought it might be too much like the divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood for me.  It quickly became its own story, with many layers, and I was captivated.At the center of it is Hannah, who has some very serious issues that she needs to resolve.  Hannah has written a book of fiction that is apparently too close to reality, and causes a huge falling out with her mother, Keeley.  Her relationship with the too good to be true Daniel is now also on the rocks - based on the fact that she now feels that she can't trust anything in her life.  The "barefoot girls" - Keeley and her friends - send her off to the one place that means home to Hannah, the barefooter house on an island near Long Island.With secrets, lies, danger, and above all love, this story has it all.  It is beautifully wrapped up in the end, although some things were not a surprise to me, and maybe a tad overdone.  But, I completely enjoyed the ride, and will definitely read other books by Tara McTiernan.I definitely recommend this book.I received a complimentary copy in order to provide a review.
