Synopsis

Gerri has always been the steady one, the friend others lean on and the mother of three restless teenagers. Then she discovers her solid marriage has deep cracks. Repairing it means facing her own anger, and she starts to look hard at herself.

Andy has had bad luck with men and has decided lasting love is not for her. Her attraction to the contractor working for her surprises her, because he has none of the traits she usually goes for. It makes her doubt what she has wanted from life.

Sonja has spent her life chasing balance. Her husband announces he is finished with her New Age habits and leaves. No herbal tonic or cleansing ritual brings back her calm.

BJ, a reserved newcomer to Mill Valley, joins their circle and brings out the best in them. She carries dark secrets of her own, yet she begins to open up to her neighbors.

This is women's fiction built around four friendships and three separate crises, told with a warm, character-led tone. The women help each other recover, and the book follows how each ends up stronger on her own and closer as a group.
