Most people don't even notice them - 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's just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa, an aspiring artist herself, knows otherwise, & she is determined to find out the story of these three enigmatic figures. 25 years earlier, in a distant seaside town, a group of teenagers find refuge from their home home lives by spending long summer days on an abandoned pier, telling silly jokes, sharing secrets, & committing small acts of rebellion. These lost souls find in each other a reason to get up each morning, a reason to dream, a reason to love. Out of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into 18-year-old Louisa's care. She embarks on a surprise-filled cross-country journey to learn how the painting came to be & to decide what to do with it.
