Four women. Four loves. Four life-changing stories. At a little salon by the sea - on the windblown coast of 1980s Australia - four women will learn to embrace love and life in all their beautiful and bittersweet forms.

Lost love: Trudy, 57, owns Summertime Salon in the sun-soaked Central Coast town of Terrigal. She loves her job, her clients and her Princess Di cuts, but since Laurie died, life hasn't been the same.

Love on the rocks: Anna, 42, brings her mother to Summertime Salon every Monday morning but never gets her own hair done - she doesn't have time for vanity. But when Anna kicks her husband Gary out, will she rediscover the joys of caring for herself, starting with highlights?

Unrequited love: Hairdresser Evie, 33, has never had much luck with men. Then new hire Sam joins the salon - he's handsome and kind, and he and Evie hit it off immediately. But is their relationship all that it seems?

First love: Apprentice Josie, 19, is determined to make her own way in the world, especially when she meets sweet surfer and mechanic Brett, who she can't quite believe is silly over her. How long can she keep him a secret from her overprotective parents?

From the bestselling author of The Shelly Bay Ladies Swimming Circle and Weekends with the Sunshine Gardening Society, this life-affirming novel follows four women on their journeys for love - in all its beautiful and bittersweet forms.
