Fiction Family Life
In Eden’s Glen, an iconic world of privilege and ease, the
comfortable rituals of wealth and leisure have created an
enclave almost untouched by time. But position is not easy
to attain, or to keep. And quiet desperation has suddenly
found its way into lives whose paths were always smooth
before.
One family has indisputably stood atop Eden’s
Glen for generations: the Winthrops. They run the bank,
invitations to their parties are the most coveted in town,
their favor dictates who gets into the country club—and who
does not. But even the Winthrops are not immune to the
pressures that underlie the clean, calm surface of life in
Eden’s Glen. Chafing from the quiet disappointments of
twenty years of marriage leaves Preston & Anne
Winthrop—the town’s golden couple—unprepared to deal with a
long-buried secret that bubbles up to shatter an otherwise
uneventful summer of tee times and ladies’ lunches. As
husband and wife struggle to come to terms with their
changed lives, their teenage son’s misery goes unsoothed.
And the events that follow reveal that even money and
position cannot save their charmed world.
