From Anna Quindlen, acclaimed author of "Blessings, Black and Blue,
" and "One True Thing," a superb novel about two sisters, the true
meaning of success, and the qualities in life that matter most.
It's an otherwise ordinary Monday when Meghan Fitzmaurice's perfect
life hits a wall. A household name as the host of "Rise and Shine,"
the country's highest-rated morning talk show, Meghan cuts to a
commercial break-but not before she mutters two forbidden words
into her open mike.
In an instant, it's the end of an era, not only for Meghan, who is
unaccustomed to dealing with adversity, but also for her younger
sister, Bridget, a social worker in the Bronx who has always lived
in Meghan's long shadow. The effect of Meghan's on-air truth
telling reverberates through both their lives, affecting Meghan's
son, husband, friends, and fans, as well as Bridget's perception of
her sister, their complex childhood, and herself. What follows is a
story about how, in very different ways, the Fitzmaurice women
adapt, survive, and manage to bring the whole teeming world of New
York to heel by dint of their smart mouths, quick wits, and the
powerful connection between them that even the worst tragedy cannot
shatter.
"From the Hardcover edition."
