Der Sommer der FrauenMaggie hat alle Mühe, für sich und ihre kleine Tochter zu sorgen. Dann erbt sie ein Strandhaus in den Hamptons und könnte auf einen Schlag alle Probleme los sein - sofern sie sich um die darin lebende 82-jährige Edith kümmert, die an Alzheimer erkrankt ist. Doch Edith hat überhaupt keine Lust, ihr Heim mit einer schlechtgekleideten Fremden und einem trotzigen Kleinkind zu teilen. Aber dann verschlimmert sich ihr Zustand, und in ihrer Not, ihre Erinnerung zu verlieren, lässt sie es zu, dass Maggie ihr hilft, ein Geheimnis ihrer Vergangenheit zu lüften. Und so erleben die so unterschiedlichen Frauen einen einzigartigen Sommer der Neuanfänge."Ein tragikomischer Lesegenuss und eine köstliche literarische Hühnersuppe für die Seele." Mary Kay Andrews

For years Maggie Sheets has been an invisible hand in the glittering homes of wealthy New York City clients, scrubbing, dusting, mopping and doing all she can to keep her head above water as a single mother. Everything changes when a former employer dies, leaving Maggie a staggering inheritance: a house in Sag Harbor. The catch? It comes with an inhabitant: the deceased's eighty-two-year-old mother, Edith. Edith has Alzheimer's?or so the doctors tell her?but she remembers exactly how her daughter, Liza, could light up a room or bring dark clouds in her wake. And now Liza's gone, by her own hand, and Edith has been left?like a chaise or strand of pearls?to a poorly dressed young woman with a toddler in tow. Maggie and Edith are both certain this arrangement will be an utter disaster. But as summer days wane, a tenuous bond forms and Edith, who feels the urgency of her diagnosis, shares a secret that she's held close for five decades, launching Maggie on a mission that might just lead them each to what they are looking for.

Charlie seemed to have it all - beauty, brains and a high-paying Wall Street job far away from her simple Midwest upbringing. Then, in the middle of her 'quarter life crisis,' she decides that the banker's life isn't what she wanted after all, quits her job and opens her own yoga studio in Brooklyn.
