Piper Parrish's life on Frick Island-a tiny, remote town smack in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay-is nearly perfect. Well, aside from one pesky detail: Her beloved husband, Tom, is dead. When Tom's crab boat capsized and his body wasn't recovered, Piper, rocked to the core, did a most peculiar thing: carried on as if her husband was not only still alive, but right there beside her, cooking him breakfast, walking him to the docks each morning, meeting him for their standard Friday night dinner date at the One-Eyed Crab. And what were the townspeople to do but go along with their beloved widowed Piper? Anders Caldwell's career is not going well. A young ambitious journalist, he'd rather hoped he'd be a national award-winning podcaster by now, rather than writing fluff pieces for a small town newspaper. But when he gets an assignment to travel to the remote Frick Island and cover their boring annual Cake Walk fundraiser, he stumbles upon a much more fascinating tale: an entire town pretending to see and interact with a man who does not actually exist. Determined it's the career-making story he's been needing for his podcast, Anders returns to the island to begin covert research and spend more time with the enigmatic Piper-but he has no idea out of all the lives he's about to upend, it's his that will change the most. USA Today bestselling author Colleen Oakley delivers an unforgettable love story about an eccentric community, a grieving widow, and an outsider who slowly learns that sometimes faith is more important than the facts"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Chesapeake Bay (Md. and Va.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Widows $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Life change events $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Delusions $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grief $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Podcasters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Journalists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Islands $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Champanis, Lindsay, $e cartographer. 941 $a 5 945 $a lpt 952 $l YLPC314 $d 20220104015540.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20211202010339.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20211002015456.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20211002010730.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210901010124.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E221660E0AE911EC804AA3A23EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
