Lainey Carson and Sydney Beaumont were the closest of
friends—until they reached high school and Sydney’s
burgeoning popularity made it easy for her to leave the
contemplative, ungainly Lainey behind. Eighteen years later, Lainey, who lives at home caring for
her mother, is an artist who’s never found the courage to
live her dreams. When Sydney shows up on her doorstep with
her infant daughter, insisting that Lainey is the only
friend she can trust, Lainey reluctantly agrees to take
temporary custody of the baby to protect her from an
abusive father. But that very night, Sydney appears on the evening news—
claiming that her daughter has been kidnapped. Unsure of
whom she can trust, Lainey is forced to go on the run with
a child who is not her own—but whose bond with her grows
stronger every day they spend together. In search of a
safe place to stay, Lainey befriends a man who, concerned
for their welfare, offers them a home. But as the two grow
closer she starts to realize that he may be harboring his
own secrets. An utterly riveting story that will keep you turning the
pages, When We Were Friends asks how we define motherhood
and family, whether we ever truly overcome our pasts, and
what friendship really means.
