From Anna Quindlen, acclaimed author of Blessings, Black and Blue, and One True Thing, a superb novel about two sisters, the true meaning of success, and the qualities in life that matter most. ItÆs an otherwise ordinary Monday when Meghan FitzmauriceÆs perfect life hits a wall. A household name as the host of Rise and Shine, the countryÆs highest-rated morning talk show, Meghan cuts to a commercial breakûbut not before she mutters two forbidden words into her open mike. In an instant, itÆs the end of an era, not only for Meghan, who is unaccustomed to dealing with adversity, but also for her younger sister, Bridget, a social worker in the Bronx who has always lived in MeghanÆs long shadow. The effect of MeghanÆs on-air truth telling reverberates through both their lives, affecting MeghanÆs son, husband, friends, and fans, as well as BridgetÆs perception of her sister, their complex childhood, and herself. What follows is a story about how, in very different ways, the Fitzmaurice women adapt, survive, and manage to bring the whole teeming world of New York to heel by dint of their smart mouths, quick wits, and the powerful connection between them that even the worst tragedy cannot shatter. From the Hardcover edition. |
