A 50-year-old bridge game has an unpredicted way to mix the generational divide between a little girl and her mom. Betsy Lerner will take us on a powerfully personal literary voyage where we learn a little about bridge and a lot about life. After a lifetime defining herself in contrast to her mother's "don't ask, don't tell" era, Lerner finds herself back in her child years home, not five kilometers from the mom she spent decades preventing. When Roz needs help after surgery, it comes to Betsy to take care of her. She expected weekly of tense civility; what she gets instead are the Bridge Gals. Impressed by their commitment, she sees something her era lacks. Facebook is fantastic, but it will not deliver a container roast. Tentatively at first, Betsy becomes a normal at her mother's Mon bridge team. Through her friendships with the girls, she is finally able to face many years of misunderstandings and family tragedy, the bridge stand becoming the common earth she and Roz never had. By turns darkly funny and deeply moving, The Bridge Gals is the unforgettable story of a hard-won - but never-too-late - connection between mom and daughter.
