Book description
How do you know if your life has taken a wrong turn?
Alison James thinks she might be living the wrong life. She
loves her husband Marc and their three children but somehow, in the
process of building a perfect life for her family, she seems to have
lost herself. And sometimes she worries that she's being punished for
how it all started - for the day she ran away with her best friend's boyfriend.
Catherine Ashley knows she's living the wrong life. She
adores her two daughters, but she'd always thought that at thirty-one
she'd be more than a near-divorcee with a dead-end job. In those dark
middle-of-the-night moments that come all too often these days, her
mind still flicks back to the love of her life: Marc James. And she
still wonders whether Alison stole her life as well as her boyfriend.
Alison and Catherine have been living separate lives, a hundred
miles apart, for fifteen years - since Alison and Marc ran away
together. But now Alison's moving back to Farmington, the town in
which they both grew up. And they're about to find out just how
different both their lives could still be ...
