Publisher's Synopsis
Friendships last a lifetime in It's About Time, and each begins and ends with stories-stories ranging from the daily struggles of child rearing and marital strife to an unresolved, forbidden love, and the loneliness of widowhood. It's About Time snapshots the stories of four very different women over three subsequent decades as the lives of Phoebe, Abagail, Hannah, and Tammy interlace through periods of joy and seasons of strife.
Beginning in the nineteen-sixties, each member of the Bridge Club narrates her experiences, hopes, fears, and secrets as world events, technology, and the actions of others change their lives. As time passes, they support each other as they raise their families, educate their children, deal with financial crises, explore new generations and romantic relationships, as well as face the difficulties of retirement and the loss of their spouses.
The enduring relationships of women are powerfully strong through transition and redemption. But can these friendships weather any storm? Will the Bridge Club survive the stresses of bank fraud, affairs, illness, and aging?
