When the concierge of The Alexander, a historic Atlanta
apartment building, invites his fellow residents to join
him for weekly screenings of Downton Abbey, four very
different people find themselves connecting with the
addictive drama, and—even more
unexpectedly—with each other...
Samantha Davis married young and for the wrong reason: the
security of old Atlanta money—for herself and for
her orphaned brother and sister. She never expected her
marriage to be complicated by love and compromised by a
shattering family betrayal.
Claire Walker is now an empty nester and struggling author
who left her home in the suburbs for the old world charm
of The Alexander, and for a new and productive life. But
she soon wonders if clinging to old dreams can be more
destructive than having no dreams at all.
And then there's Brooke MacKenzie, a woman in constant
battle with her faithless ex–husband. She's just
starting to realize that it's time to take a deep breath
and come to terms with the fact that her life is not the
fairy tale she thought it would be.
For Samantha, Claire, Brooke—and Edward, who
arranges the weekly gatherings—it will be a season
of surprises as they forge a bond that will sustain them
through some of life's hardest moments—all of it
reflected in the unfolding drama, comedy, and convergent
lives of Downton Abbey.
