<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Graced with a lovely ear for language, Matson traces the unexpectedly linked lives, and transforming, enduring friendships, of three modern women from three different generations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Renata, a waitress, has left her boyfriend Bryan without telling him he is about to become a father. She drives cross-country to begin a new life in Boston with her baby son, Charlie, hoping to stay free of emotional entanglements and the associations of a painful childhood. Eleanor, a seventy-eight-year-old widow, finds herself gradually stripping away the layers of complication in her life until she is living in virtually a plain white room. June, a young dance student, is dangerously obsessed with thinness to mask her loneliness.<br /><br /> The three women, from very different social backgrounds and age, meet by chance and their lives become unexpectedly linked. An emergency involving baby Charlie and the unannounced appearance of Bryan culminates in a dramatic and satisfying conclusion.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Crisp, clean writing . . .
