My Friends tells two intertwined stories set twenty five years apart. In one timeline, four teenagers named Joar, Ted, Ali, and a quiet artist find refuge from difficult home lives by spending their days together on an abandoned pier. In the other, eighteen year old Louisa inherits a painting created by that same group and sets off on a cross country journey to uncover its origin. Readers walk away with a renewed appreciation for how the people we meet young can shape the rest of our lives, and how art can carry a friendship forward long after the moment has passed.
