Lisa St. Clair knows a thing or two about weathering storms. A dedicated
nurse with a healthy sense of humor, she single-handedly raised her
truculent daughter, Marianne, after her ex walked out on them
twenty-four years ago. One day he reappeared and lured their daughter
into a dubious but lucrative venture in Colorado. Now mother and
daughter aren't speaking.
So when Kathy Harper, Lisa's favorite patient, loses her battle with
cancer, Lisa finds herself drawing closer to Carrie and Suzanne, the
devoted friends who were always by Kathy's side. As these three women's
lives inevitably connect, they share their concerns about men, getting
older and the horrors of maintaining financial stability. Somehow their
conversations always return to the enigma of Kathy. Who was she? What
did her short life mean?
Lisa, Carrie, and Suzanne gradually uncover the truth of Kathy's life
and unfurl plans to secure their own futures, as fate steps in to help
them discover that being single doesn't have to mean being alone.
