Book Summary : A poignant novel about the lifelong friendship between two women, Barbara and Marilyn, who once shared an idyllic childhood in the modest Riggs Park neighborhood of Washington, DC. Now. at the dawn of a new century, they’re 58 years old, each dealing with a crisis of late middle age. Marilyn has a recurrence of breast cancer. Barbara is in a difficult relationship with a man. Yet both feel driven to return to the old neighborhood to solve a decades-old mystery that still haunts them. What they discover is a heart-wrenching secret that tests them even further.
Will it shatter the resilience that got them through the repressive social mores of the 1950s, the white flight from the city, the fevered years of feminism and anti-feminism and child-rearing? Or will it give them the strength to move on?
