Here's what it says on the back of the book:

"Yearning for love and dignity, four generations of women must come to grips with the choices they've made - - and those their mothers made before them. But breaking the cycle that has ensnared them over the decades will prove more difficult than they had ever imagined. Eighty-year old Emma Bauer has carefully guarded a dark secret for more than 50 years. But when she sees her granddaughter's marriage beginning to unravel, Emma realizes that her lies about her own marriage have poisoned those she loves most. Can she help her granddaughter break free of a legacy of wrong choices? Or will she take her secret - and her broken heart - to the grave?"

Its mainly about 3 women, a grandmother, her daughter and her granddaughter. But it goes back and tells the story of the grandmother's mother and then tells the story of each of the other 3 women. All the stories intertwine and none of them were dull or boring. You just gotta promise me, Bet, if you do read it you'll let me know if you loved it as much as I did!

I usually read books from the library because I read so many I'd go broke if I bought them all. But this one has made me want to go buy it now!

Its a great book for summer!
