At the center of this novel are two women—worlds apart, yet neighbors—who come together by chance in a neighborhood pharmacy. Janna, a middle-aged contemporary woman is the editor of a women's magazine. She is good at her work and her life seems to her a success.

This strong and affecting novel traces the friendship of these wildly disparate women.
