New Book
A timeless story about female friendship with an incredibly timely hook that makes it perfect for the millennial reader. Jules O’Brien and Michelle Davis have been best friends since third grade, when Jules and her single mother moved from Cleveland to the small Alabama town where Michelle’s family has lived for generations. Quiet and shy, Jules was thrilled to be pulled into the fold by popular Michelle and her wealthy Southern family. Now in their mid-twenties, the childhood friends live miles and worlds apart. When Jules agrees to be the maid of honor in Michelle’s wedding, she quickly realizes just how different the two have become: Michelle is joining the Junior League and settling down in Alabama, while Jules is working her way up the publishing ladder in New York. Over the years, their passions and politics have diverged. In the midst of wedding planning squabbles, Jules feels distant from the woman who once knew everything about her. When Jules discovers she’s pregnant and decides to have an abortion–a decision Michelle vehemently and ideologically opposes–their friendship reaches a breaking point just before the wedding. Now Jules will have to decide if the bond they once shared as girls is strong enough to reunite the women they’ve become. Is the love still there between them? And is their shared history enough to carry their friendship through a lifetime?
