A Weekend on Allyson Island is a heartwarming, humorous novel perfect for fans of RaeAnne Thayne and Elin Hildebrand where a group of five women come together in a mansion on the coast of Savannah to celebrate Moira's 50th birthday--and the things they've tried to keep hidden from one another along the way finally come to light.
Moira Allyson is about to turn 50, and her life doesn't look like she'd hoped it would. Her husband has passed away, and she misses her two sons now that they're away in college. Her financial stability doesn't help the loneliness, so she invites her four friends to come and spend the weekend in her in her extravagant waterfront mansion in Savannah, Georgia, to celebrate her 50th birthday. But the women bring their own sets of struggles, and what looks like the perfect getaway weekend on the surface starts to reveal the cracks and secrets in each of their lives. It will be the friendships they've relied on for years that will bring them strength and healing they didnt know were possible.
With humor, empathy, and heart, Susannah B. Lewis weaves a compelling and compassionate story that reminds the reader of the hope amidst bleak times and the joy that comes from true friendship.
