Three women arrive at the local airport, observed by Josh, a Nantucket native home from college for the summer. Burdened with small children, unwieldy straw hats, and some obvious emotional issues, the women--two sisters and one friend--make their way to the sisters' tiny cottage, inherited from an aunt. They're all trying to escape from something: Melanie, after seven failed in-vitro attempts, learned her husband was having an affair, and then discovered she's pregnant; Brenda embarked on a passionate affair with an older student that got her fired from her prestigious job as a professor in New York; and her sister Vicki, mother to two small boys, has been diagnosed with lung cancer. Soon Josh is part of the chaotic household, acting as babysitter, confidant, and, eventually, lover.

Our neighbors were moving and left a pile of books on the sidewalk. My son went and retrieved them for me. This is one the books he retrieved.

This book was left on the top of one of the newspaper machines on the corner of Gurley and Montezuma Streets.

It was released for the 2016 February Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes release challenge.
