Women's Fiction
Between workouts, charity events, and shopping, Ann Barons
keeps her days as full as her walk-in closets. She shares an
immaculate house with her CEO husband, Mike, and their two
teenagers, Nate and Lauren. It's a luxurious life, far from
her homespun childhood on a farm in eastern Pennsylvania. .
.which is why Ann is wary when her elderly parents ask to
move in temporarily.
Ann prepares in the way she
knows best--hiring decorators and employing a full-time
nurse for her dementia-stricken father. But nothing can
prepare her for the transformations ahead. Soon, her mother
Eileen is popping in to prepare soups and roasts in Ann's
underused kitchen, while the usually surly Nate forms an
alliance with his ailing grandfather. Lauren blossoms under
Eileen's guidance, and even workaholic Mike finds time to
attend high-school football games. But it's Ann who must
make the biggest leap, and confront the choices and values
that have kept her floating on life's surface for so long.
Timely, poignant, and wise, The Good Life is
a deeply satisfying and beautifully written story about the
complex relationships between parents and children--and the
gap that often lies between what we seek, and what will
truly make us whole.
