"Cath, Si, and Josh have been friends since college and when Josh married Lucy, they immediately accepted her into the group. Now another friend, Portia, is back in the mix, though the others aren't sure if she has ulterior motives. Cath and Lucy take a leap of faith and start their own bookstore, Bookends, and everyone seems to be going through crises both individually and as a group. A poignant story about friendship, love, betrayal, and loss."
Sarrah, Resident Scholar
