Author: Marijo Smith. After a cross-country move from beautiful Montana, Scott, Maggie, and their infant daughter, Abby, find themselves in Pennsylvania, far from family and friends. Maggie struggles with anger against her husband for removing her from all she knows, and she’s not sure she can (or even wants to) make the adjustment. As Jean, an elderly neighbor, reveals the secrets of each of the neighborhood’s former residents, the truth about Maggie’s own heart and motives are exposed. Set in a quiet suburb of Reading, Jean’s tales illuminate the lives of her World War II-era companions: their joys and jealousies, their triumphs and tragedies.
