Gerri can t decide what s more devastating: learning her rock-solid marriage has big cracks, or the anger she feels as she tries to repair them. Always the anchor for friends and her children, she realizes it s time to look carefully at herself. The journey is more than revealing?it s transforming. Andy has come to believe that a lasting love is out of reach. When she finds herself attracted to a man without any of the qualities that usually appeal to her, she questions everything she thought she wanted in life. Sonja s New Age pursuit of balance is shattered when her husband walks out. There s no herbal tonic or cleansing ritual that can restore her serenity?or her sanity. Miraculously, it s BJ, the newcomer to Mill Valley, who steps into their circle and changes everything. The woman with dark secrets opens up to her neighbors, and together they get back on track, stronger as individuals and unfaltering as friends.
