Synopses & Reviews
A mother's legacy of heartbreak, scandal and enduring love…When seventy-year-old Ginny invites her three daughters to join her for two weeks at Star's End, her new estate on the Maine coast, each accepts reluctantly, since Ginny was always more dutiful than loving. All three have found ways to rebel against their emotionally impoverished childhoods. Caroline, forty, is a successful lawyer driven to put a demanding career ahead of her personal life. Annette, thirty-seven, lavishes more attention on her husband and five children than they need or want. And twice-married, twice-divorced Leah, thirty-four, now fills her life with empty socializing. Together at Star's End, as they await Ginny's arrival, they gradually discover the scandalous secret behind her stony facade -- and begin to understand the deepest desires of their own hearts.
