Most people don&rsquo\;t even notice them& mdash\;three tiny figures sitting at the end of a long pier in the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world. Most people think it&rsq uo\;s just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa\, an aspiring artist herself \, knows otherwise\, and she is determined to find out the story of these three enigmatic figures.
\nTwenty-five years earlier\, in a distant seaside town\, a group of teenagers find refuge from their bruising home l ives by spending long summer days on an abandoned pier\, telling silly jok es\, sharing secrets\, and committing small acts of rebellion. These lost souls find in each other a reason to get up each morning\, a reason to dre am\, a reason to love.
\nOut of that summer emerges a transcendent w ork of art\, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into eighteen-yea r-old Louisa&rsquo\;s care. She embarks on a surprise-filled cross-country journey to learn how the painting came to be and to decide what to do wit h it. The closer she gets to the painting&rsquo\;s birthplace\, the more n ervous she becomes about what she&rsquo\;ll find. Louisa is proof that hap py endings don&rsquo\;t always take the form we expect in this stunning te stament to the transformative\, timeless power of friendship and art.
