"Three women form a bond at a Georgia rehab clinic in this beautiful novel of friendship, self-discovery, and reckoning with the past.
Julia has checked in to a rehab facility deep in rural Georgia that promises to help her find herself. Other women have done the same, all of them recognizing that they can no longer continue down the path they’re on.
As Gwen, Cate, and Julia come to understand more about themselves and their destructive behaviors, they forge firm friendships in the toughest of circumstances. But in order to continue to heal, they must learn to confide in one another and unburden themselves. In the company of friends, they rebuild and recover, beginning to confront their pasts. But when some disturbing truths are revealed, it threatens to derail the progress they’ve made.
Does Julia have another shot at life, and perhaps even at love? Can she come to believe she deserves it and allow herself to be happy? Sometimes, the best therapy is having good friends…"
"There's no road map for what to do when your husband dies—when he jumps off a bridge to escape mistakes that he made, or even welcomed, into your lives. But Lily doesn't need to consult a map for this particular part of her journey; she knows the way back to the small town she left behind. With a precocious seven-year-old who reminds her too much of his father tucked safely in the back seat, Lily leaves New York with everything she owns packed in a U-Haul, including memories that come in waves like fields along the highway and an envelope she is too afraid to open. Once she settles in, she sifts through a box of things destined for the local thrift store—items from her past that will connect four women in unexpected ways and give them all the strength they need to move on."
