Some Women

Annabel Ford runs a tight household and spends her days with her twin boys. When her husband of ten years says he is leaving, the order she has kept up collapses around her.

Piper Whitley is a crime reporter raising her daughter, Fern, on her own. She has just met a man she thinks is right for her when Fern's father, long absent, reappears and upsets her plans.

Mackenzie Mead is married to the heir of a successful media conglomerate. Her mother-in-law is also her boss, and she and her husband have drifted so far apart that she can no longer reach him.

The three women have little in common on the surface. Each reaches a point where she needs support, and circumstances bring them together. The friendships that form between them give each a way to face her changed circumstances.

This is contemporary women's fiction told through three women's separate lives. Its subjects are marriage, motherhood, work and friendship, and the tone is warm and domestic, with the pull coming from relationships under strain rather than from action.
