"Steel skillfully weaves the strands of the Matthews and Thomas
families together in a layered story about loneliness and
companionship. . . . Lily may be the patient, but all the adults
are struggling with loneliness and the desire to feel important,
needed, and relevant. Together, they discover friendship, loyalty,
and new dreams."--"Publishers Weekly"
