WEEK AT THE LAKE

Производитель: "Неизвестный"

Twenty years ago, Emma Michaels, Mackenzie Hayes, and Serena Stockton bonded over their New York City dreams. Then, each summer, they solidified their friendship by spending one week at the lake together, solving their problems over bottles of wine and gallons of ice cream. They kept the tradition for years, until jealousy, lies, and life`s disappointments made them drift apart. It`s been five years since Emma has seen her friends, an absence designed to keep them from discovering a long-ago betrayal. Now she`s in desperate need of their support. The time has come to reveal her secrets--and hopefully rekindle their connection. But when a terrible accident puts Emma in a coma before she can say her piece, Serena and Mackenzie begin to learn about the past on their own. Now, to heal their friendship and their broken lives, the three women will have to return to the lake that once united them, and discover which relationships are worth holding on to...

Wendy is a female name. Its popularity is attributed to the character Wendy Darling from the children's play and novel "Peter Pan" by J.M. Barrie. The character Wendy was inspired by a real girl. Barrie befriended young Margaret Emma Henley, daughter of Barrie's friend W.E. Henley. Margaret reportedly used to call him 'my fwiendy-wendy', unable to pronounce R's. Margaret, born September 4th 1888, died at the age of five on February 11, 1894 but was immortalized forever in Barrie's work. Although the name 'Wendy' appears as a boy's name in the 1881 census of England, Barrie is usually credited with its invention as a girl's name.
