Description
"Thirty years ago, Grace Benedict and her college roommates - Liz, Tess, and lovely Lovey - made a solemn vow: to hold on to their friendship, to support one another, to keep in touch through a circle journal that would make the rounds among them. And they promised always to tell one another the truth." "For three decades that journal has been circulating, carrying stories of Liz's social justice activism in Atlanta and D.C.; of Tess's fulfilling career and perfect home life; of Lovey's dream marriage to a wealthy and powerful former pro football player." "But what is Grace to say? Her friends seem so happy and successful. She can't bear to tell them how her life has spiraled downward since college, and she can't bring herself to be honest about the dismal realities and bitter memories she faces every day." "She never intends to deceive them - not initially, anyway. She simply embellishes the truth a little, presents her life as a bit more respectable than it really is. But over the years one exaggeration leads to another, and the fiction grows..." "Until she discovers that she's going to die." "Alone and desolate and with little left to lose, Grace determines to take the risk of a lifetime, to reach out to Liz and Tess and Lovey again. And when they reunite, her final battle becomes their struggle as well - a quest for trust, honesty, and enduring emotional connection."--BOOK JACKET
