520    "Welcome to Oak Bluffs, the most exclusive black beach 
       community in the country. Known for its gingerbread 
       Victorian-style houses and modern architectural marvels, 
       this picturesque town hugging the sea is a mecca for the 
       crème de la crème of black society...Thirty years ago, 
       Amelia Vaux Tanner and her husband built a house high on 
       the bluffs, a cottage they named Chateau Laveau. For 
       decades, "Ama" played host to American presidents, Wall 
       Street titans, and cultural icons. But her favorite guests
       have always been her three "goddaughters:" Esperanza 
       "Perry" Soto, a beautiful, talented Afro-Latina lawyer 
       with Ama's strong, yet guarded personality; Olivia Jones, 
       a gifted Wall Street analyst with Ama's brilliant, logical
       mind; and Billie Hayden, a gifted marine biologist and 
       rule-breaker with Ama's courageous free spirit. Growing up,
       these three goddaughters from different backgrounds came 
       together each summer at Chateau Laveau. As adults, the 
       cottage is a place this trio of successful yet very 
       different women go to escape...This summer on the Bluffs, 
       however, will be different. An era is ending: Ama, now 
       nearing seventy-one, is moving to the south of France to 
       reunite with her college sweetheart. She has invited Perry,
       Olivia, and Billy to spend one last golden summer together
       with her the way they did when they were kids. And when 
       fall comes, she is going to give the house to one of them.
       Each of the women wants the house desperately. Each is 
       grappling with a secret she fears will hurt her and her 
       chances. By the end of summer, old ties will fray, new 
       bonds will be created, and these three found sisters will 
       discover they aren't the only ones with something to hide.
       Ama has a few secrets of her own. What she has to give 
       them is far more than property. Between Memorial Day and 
       Labor Day, she will tell these surrogate daughters she 
       fiercely loves and protects everything they never knew 
       they needed to know."--Dust jacket.
