Product Description
Termed "emotional and poignant" by RT BookReviews, this women's friendship novel by award-winning author Ellyn Bache traces the history of two lifelong friends who return in late middle age to Riggs Park, the modest Washington DC neighborhood of their youth, to unravel a troubling secret that has haunted them for years. Having survived the repressive social mores of the 1950's, the sexual revolution, the fevered years of feminism and anti-feminism, each now faces a serious personal crisis -- one, a return of breast cancer, the other, a baffling relationship with a man. The heart-wrenching truths they uncover in the old neighborhood tests their waning resilience -- and also gives them the strength to go on. Bache is the winner of the Willa Cather Fiction Prize and author of "Safe Passage," which became a film starring Susan Sarandon.
