The FBI serves simultaneous search warrants on an office and a residence. Indiscretion makes sexual escapades impossible to ignore. An ambulance rushes to the hospital in the middle of the night. The results are three women alone after decades of marriage. They are intelligent, affluent, and self-sufficient, but totally devastated by their losses. Stories of betrayal and human frailty are a reminder that any family's public face can be very different from its private one. An Iowa snowstorm sets the scene for a shocking personal revelation about a Ponzi scheme, giving birth to an unexpected bond of strength in their friendship. After emotional setbacks, the three wonder if happiness is possible. A long-ago chemistry lesson about electrons, and a message in a Chinese fortune cookie, lead them on a journey in pursuit of the answer. This is the first book of, "The Women of Lakeshore Drive" series, which follows three baby boomers over a progression of time. Each book is a stand-alone and can be enjoyed on its own.
