Growing up, Lyle Cooper had to dodge her mother’s boyfriends and scavenge for food, learning early on how to fend for herself. She relied on her best friend, Dottie, to provide the stability and companionship she longed for. Together, they navigated life’s challenges over the next four decades. Now in her forties and newly single, Lyle travels with friends to the stunning island of Bonaire, hoping to find peace beneath the Caribbean sun. She swims in the crystal-clear waters, scuba dives among vibrant coral reefs, and lounges on the sun-kissed white sand beaches, all while surrounded by the tranquil beauty of this tropical paradise. In the midst of her journey, Lyle finds unexpected connections, including a man who might help her rediscover what it means to open her heart again and see her future in a new light. But as inconsistencies in Lyle’s past start to surface, her friends begin to suspect something isn’t quite right with her closest confidant—maybe Dottie isn’t all she appears to be. Additionally, Lyle’s ex is harboring a secret that, if exposed, could complicate her path forward.
