Three women, each facing an empty nest, come together to cheer and challenge one another in this insightful, poignant new novel from acclaimed author Susan Kietzman.

For years, Ellie, Alice, and Joan enjoyed a casual
friendship while volunteering at their children’s
Connecticut high school. Now, with those children grown and
gone to college, a local tragedy brings the three into
contact again. But what begins as a catch-up lunch soon
moves beyond small talk to the struggles of this next stage
of life.

Joan Howard has spent thirty years of marriage doing what’s
expected of Howard women: shopping, dressing well, and
keeping a beautiful home. Unfulfilled, her boredom and
emptiness eventually find a secret outlet at the local
casino. Meanwhile, Ellie’s efforts to expand her accounting
business lead to a new friendship that clashes with her
family’s traditional worldview. And Alice, feeling
increasingly distant from her husband, and alienated from
her once fit body, takes up running again. But a terrifying
ordeal shatters her confidence and spurs a decision that
will affect all three women in different ways.

Over the course of an eventful year, Ellie, Alice, and Joan
will meet every other Wednesday to talk, plan—and find the
freedom, and the courage, to redefine themselves.
