The Invisible Husband of Frick Island

Meer over het boek

Piper Parrish's life on Frick Island, a tiny town in the Chesapeake Bay, seems perfect, except for one detail: her husband, Tom, is dead. After Tom's tragic accident at sea, Piper copes by pretending he is still alive, cooking for him, walking him to the docks, and keeping their Friday night dinner tradition. The townspeople, fond of Piper, play along with her charade. Meanwhile, Anders Caldwell, a struggling journalist, is disappointed with his career and hopes for a breakthrough. Assigned to cover a mundane Cake Walk fundraiser on Frick Island, he uncovers a captivating story: a community that collectively pretends to interact with a man who doesn't exist. Eager to turn this bizarre situation into a career-making podcast, Anders returns to the island for covert research and to spend time with the intriguing Piper. Unbeknownst to him, his investigation will profoundly impact his own life. This poignant narrative explores themes of love, grief, and the power of belief, revealing that sometimes faith matters more than the truth.
