Four strong women from different walks of life in
Australia, London and San Francisco, they've all come to
the breathtakingly beautiful isle of Corfu seeking the
same thing—refuge. Between marriage woes, dead-end
careers, and demanding families, these women need a
vacation—a little sun, a few shots of Sambuca, and a
couple of sexy Greek men will surely allow them to
relax, right? Maybe not. Australian Claire Dillon is
46, still has amazing legs, and is ready for a change.
Her husband is having an affair with a 29-year old
masseuse, and her gay son is looking for a father figure
in a series of unsuitable boyfriends. When she takes off
for Corfu in the middle of disaster, everyone says she's
gone mad—and she's out to prove them right. Parker
Glass' marriage lasted eleven days, not exactly what the
perfectionist interior designer from San Francisco had
dreamed of. After a breakdown at work, her partner
firmly suggests she use her scheduled honeymoon time for
some much needed sun and relaxation in the Greek Isles.
At first, the vacation seems just the thing for getting
her life back on track... but sometimes the cure is
worse than the disease. Anya Soberanes is convinced
she's cursed—how else could she still be looking for her
soulmate? When her aunt finds her unconscious in her San
Francisco apartment after inadvertently overdosing on
sleeping pills and telenovelas, her parents give her an
ultimatum: either take a vacation with her friend's
sister Parker, or check into a mental-health facility.
As Anya discovers, facing her fears is easy in
Greece—it's making her dreams come true that's the hard
part. 25-year old Londoner Kelah Morris wants more
than anything to publish a brilliant novel and prove to
her editor mother that she's destined for more than
selling popcorn at the cinema. All Kelah needs is an
escape from her overbearing parents, dead-end job,
jailbird brother and just-published friends to free
herself of her infamous writer's block. Butshe doesn't
factor in the possibility of wild career success and
true love on her island getaway. Together, these four
women discover that sometimes you need to get away from
it all to discover what you really need.
