About this ebook
“[A] charming and achingly real,” story about three women struggling to keep a longstanding friendship alive is “certain [to] become a book club favorite” (Sarah Jio, author of The Violets of March).
Waverly, who's always been the group's anchor, runs a cozy bakery but worries each month about her mounting debt. Kate is married to a man who's on track to be the next governor of Virginia, but the larger questions brewing in their future are unsettling her. Stay-at-home mom Amy has a perfect life on paper, but as the horrific secret she's keeping from her friends threatens to reveal itself, she panics.
As life's pressures build all around them, Waverly knows she has some big decisions to make. In doing so, she will discover that the lines between loyalty and betrayal can become blurred, happy endings aren't always clear-cut, and sometimes you have to risk everything to gain the life you deserve.
“Fans of women's fiction about enduring female friendships will relate to debut author Lewis's vivid and genuinely written protagonists. A good choice for readers who enjoy the novels of Kristin Hannah and Patricia Gaffney.” -Library Journal
“A moving, thoughtful story about what happens when friends become family and stay close despite all odds.” -Meredith Goldstein, author of The Singles
“Wise and compulsively readable.” -Meg Mitchell Moore, author of The Arrivals and So Far Away
