Award-winning journalist Michele Fitzpatrick's engaging debut novel introduces four unlikely heroines in their fifties who navigate extraordinary challenges as ordinary people do: rarely smoothly, often treading water, sometimes barely afloat.

Ruth Fortune is a trustworthy CEO who trusts no one, ever. Artist Pat Conelli considers her seven children her masterpieces but wonders where she mislaid herself. June Magee is a master craftswoman who can't craft a single love match. And Diane Jonasen? Her news career is solid. Her sanity? Not so much.

They have reunited thirty-five years after they were students at Shorelake College for Women to fulfill a promise to the woman who was their college president. They set out to transform an aging Chicago mansion into a twenty-first-century women's center, unaware the process will transform them.

What can you do when loss obliterates your faith, duty blurs hope, self-doubt trumps love or guilt denies you forgiveness? Flawed, funny, occasionally furious, they are about to find out.

Well developed characters heading for a group development into a women’s centre. Unfortunately, it was a little too perfect. All was just too rosy at the end. Just not believable. But, maybe that’s just me.

If you’re looking for a book you can finish in an evening, don’t read this one! The artistry of the author’s words, development of the characters and expansion of the story line require patience to read. But the time, thought, patience and effort you put into carefully reading every word is well worth it. This is a novel I read more than once to be sure I picked up on all the subtleties and subplots. I truly found it invigorating, emotional, and illuminating!

Thirty years ago, four women attended a small Catholic college for women in Chicago. The women all knew each other, and while not exactly friends, were united to some extent by not fitting in to the majority of students and their absolute devotion to Sister Mark, the head of the college who had been a guide and mentor for each of them. The women have seldom seen or interacted with each other since. Now, sister Mark has asked them as a group to help her in a project. The college has closed and the land and buildings have been bought by the larger secular college next to their campus. Sister Mark wants them to plan and implement a method to raise funds to refurbish one of the original buildings and create a women's center to occupy the building in honor of the former college.
The four women are all flawed, quirky, and in some ways lost, although two of them have become very prominent and successful in their work lives. Their first fundraiser attempt is an absolute disaster and they are forced to rethink every aspect of their lives and to make some serious changes, not only to their plan for the women's center, but also their personal situations. The story encompasses their history, their time at the college, and where they are now and is told from four points of view. The entire novel is fascinating. A look back to the turbulent 70s, a story of four women who have suffered a multitude of sorrow, and are now fighting to make a better version of themselves, and a place for other women to come and gain skills, support, family.
I had read several reviews of the book before I read it. Many were glowing, but there were a goodly number who also rated it one star or did not finish. I will admit that the first part of the book was difficult in some ways. The pace was slow, and the women did not appear very likable. But I am so glad I continued reading. It was immensely rewarding to see the growth in these women and the changes in their relationships.

I finished the book but almost quit after chapter 2. The vocabulary used in the book often needed a dictionary to understand. also I often found myself rereading entire paragraphs to understand what the author was telling about a character or event. For me the chatacters were not relatable. Definitely not an easy read.
