The Generosity Of Women - E-book - ePub

MEET: Joyce, the foul-mouthed and wildly successful curator of a controversial art exhibit on surveillance, who unexpectedly finds herself under surveillance-in her own bedroom. Her best friend, Bobbie, a gynecologist-driven, poised, and in control-a woman who finally finds love at fiftysomething and watches, horrified, as her perfectly ordered world crumbles around her. Bobbie's patient, Lisa, a former juvenile offender and habitual runaway, who once dreamed of fame working as Joyce's gallery assistant and is now struggling with her new identity as a banker's wife and doting mother.
Lisa's sister, Lynne, a middle-aged suburban mother whose penchant for home decorating conceals her troubled marriage and blinding desire to exact revenge for a childhood injustice. Jordan, Lynne's sixteen-year-old daughter, a former straight-A student and aspiring model who, no longer fitting in at school or at home, takes a part-time job at a supermarket to spite her mother-and finds a close confidant in her thirty-year-old male boss.
And finally, meet Adela, Bobbie's beautiful twenty-three-year-old daughter-and Joyce's goddaughter-who has returned to New York for a long weekend under the guise of meeting her mother's new boyfriend, but has a bomb of her own to drop.
