What if you could live the life you've always dreamed of --
but never pursued? What if your choices -- married or
single, career or motherhood, city or country -- could be
made all over again? Bestselling author Eileen Goudge
ponders "what might have been" in this tender, provocative
tale of two best friends who exchange lives -- and discover
the surprising places where their deepest joys and
satisfactions live. Jessie Holland is a journalist on the rise in New York
City -- and she wouldn't trade her walk-up apartment or her
2:00 a.m. sushi takeout for anything. Only lately, she's
been in search of a hot story, and praying her career isn't
cooling off. When her editor at Savvy magazine poses a
compelling question -- can you ever really go home again? --
Jessie spins the fantasy into a feature story. Could she
return to her western hometown and be truly content? Can a
bona fide New Yorker exchange her subway pass for an SUV
and find happiness? Erin Delahanty appears to have an enviable life as the
owner of a popular bed & breakfast in a picturesque Arizona
town. What's less visible are the escalating fights between
Erin and her husband, Skip, and the tensions that are
affecting their teenage daughter. When Skip unexpectedly
leaves her, Erin turns to her best friend Jessie for
comfort -- and is handed a stunning proposition: Come live
in Manhattan for six months, while Jessie runs the inn and
steps into her shoes. Neither woman has anything to lose: Jessie's romance with
recently divorced news bureau chief Jonathan Silver is at a
crossroads, while Erin needs time to sort out her marriage.
But the choices and challenges they face in their new
worlds take them both by surprise....What began as a daring
magazine article will change both women forever. Can you go
home again?
