At 78, Winnie Easton has finally found love again with Jerry Trevis, a
wealthy Chicago businessman who has moved to the small, upstate town of
Hartfield, New York, to begin his life anew. But their decision to buy
one of the town's biggest houses ignites anger and skepticism--as
children and grandchildren take drastic actions to secure their own
futures and endangered inheritances. With so much riding on Jerry's
wealth, a decline in his physical health forces hard decisions on the
family, renewing old loyalties while creating surprising alliances.
A powerfully moving novel told from alternating perspectives,
Commuters is an intensely human story of lives profoundly changed by
the repercussions of one marriage, and by the complex intertwining of
love, money, and family.
