Everyone has a best friend as a child; someone to share all your secrets with, and who knows you better than anyone else will ever know you. It is someone you will remember your whole life. No matter what happens to you, your best friend will always have a special place in your heart. Tessa loves to spend time with her best friend, Angel. They are polar opposites and cousins and they love to spend time together at their family's lake cabin. Making tree forts, sharing secrets and helping their uncle make Adirondack chairs. But the one year that Angel doesn't come to the lake, tragedy strikes and Tessa doesn't ever want to return to the lake cabin and the Adirondack chairs. Not even her cousin Andy can make everything better, but; perhaps the cabin and the Adirondack chairs can help her heal; in time.
