On Bonaire

By Anne Bennett

A personal journey full of hope, and one woman's struggle to free herself from her painful past.

Growing up, Lyle Cooper had to dodge her mother's boyfriends and scavenge for food, learning early on how to fend for herself. She relied on her best friend, Dottie, to provide the stability and companionship she craved. Together, they would navigate life's challenges over the next four decades.

Now in her forties and newly single, Lyle travels with friends to a tropical paradise, where she intends to mend her broken heart under the Caribbean sun. She agonizes over acknowledging her tumultuous childhood and absolving the mother who was lost to addiction. Could this free Lyle from the weight of her difficult upbringing and help heal her trauma?

But as inconsistencies in Lyle's past begin to surface, friends suspect there's something strange about her closest confidant-maybe Dottie isn't all she's made out to be. Not only that, Lyle's ex is harboring a secret that, if exposed, would threaten her very sanity.

If you're searching for an aspirational story about female friendship and personal growth, with a cast of characters willing to face life head-on, you'll love this contemporary novel from Anne Bennett. On Bonaire is the first book in her series A Lyle Cooper Story.
