In the Long Island oceanfront community of Mattauk, three different
women discover that midlife changes bring a whole new type of
empowerment...
After Nessa James's husband dies and her twin daughters leave for
college, she's left all alone in a trim white house not far from the
ocean. In the quiet of her late forties, the former nurse begins to hear
voices. It doesn't take long for Nessa to realize that the voices
calling out to her belong to the dead--a gift she's inherited from her
grandmother, which comes with special responsibilities.
On the cusp of 50, suave advertising director Harriett Osborne has just
witnessed the implosion of her lucrative career and her marriage. She
hasn't left her house in months, and from the outside, it appears as if
she and her garden have both gone to seed. But Harriett's life is far
from over--in fact, she's undergone a stunning and very welcome
metamorphosis.
Ambitious former executive Jo Levison has spent thirty long years at war
with her body. The free-floating rage and hot flashes that arrive with
the beginning of menopause feel like the very last straw--until she
realizes she has the ability to channel them, and finally comes into her
power.
Guided by voices only Nessa can hear, the trio of women discover a
teenage girl whose body was abandoned beside a remote beach. The police
have written the victim off as a drug-addicted sex worker, but the women
refuse to buy into the official narrative. Their investigation into the
girl's murder leads to more bodies, and to the town's most exclusive and
isolated enclave, a world of stupendous wealth where the rules don't
apply. With their newfound powers, Jo, Nessa, and Harriett will take
matters into their own hands...
