A nostalgic and heartfelt novel about friendship, second chances, and the enduring bonds that shape who we are.

They called themselves Dock 8. A group of college friends in the 90’s, four men and four women, who swore they’d always have each other. Through everything. No matter where life took them. Until the Summer of 1997 when their friend, Sam, drowned under mysterious circumstances.

His death scattered the friends into separate worlds. Adulthood rushed in bringing careers, marriages, kids, heartbreaks, divorce, and death. It was easier to walk away.

When fifty year old Mia Langston lands on the bathroom floor after an overdose, she sets in motion a reunion no one in her college friend group ever expected. When the invitation to a weekend at the lake arrives, the friends are pulled back together for the first time in decades. The place is the same. The memories come quickly, but so do the questions. Questions about choices they’ve made, secrets they’ve kept, and the friendships lost along the way. They discover time has a way of flying by and at the same time standing still. 

Over the course of a few days, they’ll laugh, cry, reconnect, and face truths they’ve been avoiding. In the end they discover some friendships are eternal.
