Summary
Sophie Whelan is the epitome of the modern superwoman. When she operates at peak performance, she can cajole balky employees, soothe her cranky children, and throw a dinner party for ten — all in the same day. But as Sophie’s… fortieth birthday looms, her seamless life reveals disturbing fractures. Conflict with her boss, growing jealousy of her husband’s femme fatale business partner and her feelings of inadequacy as a mother are cracking the edifice of her life. Rescue may be at hand when Lillian Parker, a wealthy widow who befriended Sophie during her university days, makes Sophie an irresistible offer. Why, then, does Sophie hesitate? The answer is the reappearance of Lillian’s nephew, Will Shannon, the great unresolved love of Sophie’s life. As she remembers the drama of their college romance, Sophie confronts the choices she has made in life and looks for the one answer that has always eluded her: what does she really want? Bestseller. 2013.
