How about a Beach Trip?
Five college friends. One sacred tradition: sun, sand, and sisterhood.
But this beach trip brings more than sunscreen and laughter. Old secrets surface. Marriages unravel. Memories fade. Grief lingers. And one friend is carrying a diagnosis no one saw coming.
The tide rolls in with more than just beach chairs and sunscreen.
There are old secrets… sharp as sea glass. Salty confessions whispered over coffee and crab cakes. And a preacher’s wife-sassier than ever-who might just start a revival before brunch.
They laugh, cry, spill tea, speak truth—and remember what decades of friendship can survive.
Messy. Funny. Real. Just like life. Just like friendship. Just like Beach Trip.
Know someone who could use a little salt air and Southern sisterhood? Gift them Beach Trip—the next best thing to bare feet in the sand.
