Four women set off on journeys that will bring their lives into startling alignment, in ways that will transform them for ever. Dana is a beautiful young bodyguard who has the expertise to disarm a bomb but cannot commit to marrying the man she loves. Jessica is a reclusive movie star and the mother of two young daughters whose fame has left her a near hostage in her own home. Vivian is a 17-year-old who has lost her way and will do anything to protect her twin babies. And Lynn is a recovering alcoholic living in isolation on a ranch, shielding herself from the mistakes of her past and a husband and daughter from whom she has long been estranged. How their fates collide - and how that collision offers each of them a chance at redemption and renewal - is the subject of MacKenzie Bezos''s stunning novel.

Following the lives of four women, American Book Award winner Bezos offers convincing insight into different worlds - a woman in a man's world, a celebrity, an alcoholic and a teenage mother. They battle their traps until their paths intersect significantly...Rich and engaging.
