Women's Fiction Contemporary
Acclaimed artist Elaine Gordon can't believe her loving
husband is gone. After a lifetime spent utterly devoted to
her soul mate and their marriage, Elaine is now tetherless,
faced with widowhood and all the decisions that come with
it, not least of which is what to do with her rambling, now-
empty family home. Anxious to console their mother in
her time of grief, Elaine's four grown children urge her to
put everything on hold and spend some healing time with
them. But visiting each unique and complicated child opens
Elaine's eyes to the fact that the children she raised have
become adults she hardly knows: Sarah, who abandoned
Western life for an orthodox enclave in Jerusalem; Lisa,
Sarah's accomplished twin and polar opposite, who will do
anything for a child of her own; Peter, trapped in a hollow
marriage in California; and Denis, the youngest, who just
wants Elaine to accept his gay lifestyle. As Elaine
tries to bridge the physical and emotional miles, her eyes
are opened to the startling truths of her own family, and
what she must do to come to terms with her kids' lives—and
a future that's completely, wonderfully…hers.
