Women's Fiction
With her free-spirited daughter away at college and
her "hip" ex-husband living across the country, Charlotte
has grown used to being alone. For the most part, she
prefers it. She relies on familiar routines: manicures,
grocery shopping, game shows. But at night, no matter how
hard she tries (and in spite of the Dream Machine her
daughter Emily sent her) she can't stop her logical mind
from running wild -- imagining burglars, strange noises,
and all manner of trouble that might befall her fearless
daughter. Having just graduated from Wesleyan with a
pierced tongue and an arsenal of opinions, Emily has
always been passionate about her beliefs -- from
mindfulness to vegetarianism to her new live-in boyfriend.
Though Charlotte rarely understands her, she's learned to
keep her doubts to herself. But when Emily and the new
boyfriend arrive for a weekend visit, secrets are revealed
that compel Charlotte to take a stand. Forced to examine
her own life choices, she's about to learn she can't
control everything. What she can do is open her
heart to new possibilities, and to the fact that
headstrong Emily might have a thing or two to teach them
all.
