"Giffin excels at creating complicated characters and tales that ask us to explore whatever we want from our lives."--Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Tessa Russo is the mother of two small children and the better half of the renowned pediatric doctor. Despite her own mother's warnings, Tessa has given up her job to concentrate on her family and the quest for domestic enjoyment. From the exterior, she seems destined to live a life a charmed life.
Valerie Anderson can be an attorney and one mother to six-year-old Charlie--a youngster who has never known his father. After too many disappointments, she has abadndoned romance--and even to some degree, friendships--believing that it is always safer not to expect too much.
Although both women live in the same Boston suburb, both have relatively little in common besides from a fierce love for his or her children. But one nights, a tragic incident causes their lives to converge in ways no one may have imagined.
In alternating, pitch-perfect things of view, Emily Giffin creates a moving, luminous tale of good people trapped in untenable circumstances. Each being analyzed in ways they never thought possible. Each questioning everything they once presumed. And each ultimately discovering what matters most.
