In her first novel, Matson has created an interesting triangle of female characters. Renata, Eleanor, and June meet through a series of chance encounters, and their lives become entwined. Renata has driven from Oregon to Boston with her newborn baby, Charlie. She hasn't bothered to tell Bryan, the father, about the baby because she has decided he wouldn't be good father material. Renata moves into the apartment next door to that of Eleanor, a widow and retired judge who has sold the family home at the request of her three children. Eleanor hires June, a young dance student, to clean house and run errands for her. Though June is a troubled recluse with an eating disorder, she and Eleanor soon become good friends. In time, at Eleanor's suggestion, June begins to baby-sit for Renata, and soon all their lives revolve around one another. A mishap involving the baby brings Bryan into the picture and leads to an interesting and satisfying conclusion. This lyrical novel of friendship and love is very readable and enjoyable.
