About this listen

“A breathtaking story of an extraordinary friendship. Molly Fader has penned an unforgettable novel that is sure to be one of the year’s best.”—Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Veil

Two friends. A lifetime of secrets. One sparkling story.

1967 Iowa. Nursing school roommates BettyKay and Kitty don’t have much in common. BettyKay has risked her family’s disapproval to pursue her dreams away from her small town. Cosmopolitan Kitty has always relied on her beauty and smarts to get by and to hide a painful secret. Yet the two share a determination to prove themselves in a changing world, forging an unlikely bond on a campus unkind to women.

Before their first year is up, tragedy strikes, and the women’s paths are forced apart. But against all odds, a decades-long friendship forms, persevering through love, marriage, failure, and death, from the jungles of Vietnam to the glamorous circles of Hollywood. Until one snowy night leads their relationship to the ultimate crossroads.

Fifty years later, two estranged sisters are shocked when a famous movie star shows up at their mother's funeral. Over one tumultuous weekend, the women must reckon with a dazzling truth about their family that will alter their lives forever...

Brilliant read

Too many books are the same old story lines and you can't even remember if you read them or not just months later.
Not this--it was interesting with great character development. The story does switch from the present back to the 60s as the story unfolds. Readers that lived through the 60s might have even more appreciation for the women as I did, I could relate. Great story about family and friendships for everyone.

Great overall!

What a beautifully written story of love and all of the complexities of life. If you need to be reminded of all the people who come in and out of your life and the impact they leave, good and bad, but shape us into who we are in the end, this book does a brilliant job of this.

Life is complicated but love isn’t
