Women's Fiction Contemporary
When Lucy discovered that her charming, cheating husband was
dying, she came home, opened up his little black book, and
decided she wasn’t going through this alone. After all,
Artie’s sweethearts were there for the good times—is it fair
that Lucy should have to manage the hard times herself? In
this wise, wickedly funny new novel, Lucy dials up the women
in Artie’s black book and invites them for one last visit.
The last thing she expects is that any will actually show
up.
But one by one, they do show up: The one who
hates him. The one who owes her life to him. The one he
turned into a lesbian, and the one he taught to dance. And
among them is a visitor with the strangest story of all: the
young man who may or may not be Artie’s long-lost
son.
For Lucy, the jaw-dropping procession of women
is an education in the man she can’t forgive and couldn’t
leave. And as the women find themselves sharing secrets and
sharing tears, they start to discover kindred spirits—and
even something that’s a lot like family. But Lucy knows one
thing for certain: the biggest surprises are yet to
come….
Full of heart, Bridget Asher’s unforgettable
novel is about mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and
the deep friendships between women. It’s about sweet liars
and tenderhearted cheaters—about loving those we love for
reasons we can’t always fully rationalize, and about the
sort of forgiveness that can change someone’s entire life in
the most unexpected and extraordinary ways.
