Synopsis

In the idyllic small town of Tucker, Vermont, life flows at a rhythmic pace for pediatrician Paige Pfeiffer. But when Mara O'Neill, her best friend and medical partner, inexplicably kills herself, Paige's comfortable world is suddenly shattered. Temporarily caring for Mara's newly adopted baby daughter while she comes to grips with her grief, Paige clings to the hope that, in time, her orderly life will return.

What she hadn't counted on were the unforeseen joys that often come with change, including the attentions of Noah Perrine, acting head of the private school where Paige coaches girls' athletics. Noah fills Paige's life with hope, and offers her things she never thought she wanted. Paige never expected to find the meaning of life in the death of a friend.

This is the third book I have read by Barbara Delinsky and so far it is my favorite. The plot kept moving and was believable. I enjoyed getting a glimpse into so many different lives.

Goodreads review by Judy on June 16, 2018

This is a tender story about taking risks in life as opposed to staying in the safe lane. It encompasses a tragic suicide, a mass causality when a theater balcony collapses during a rock concert, and an unjust accusation of rape. It was fast moving with lots of characters. It is a good story.......more
