    About this ebook

    An engaging and intelligent woman seeking to end her unsatisfying marriage to a U.S. congressman, an acclaimed sports writer facing a major professional crisis, and an effervescent and quick-witted major-league ball-player’s wife dealing with a predominant fear of her own find comfort and resolution of their personal problems, which touches the heart, titillates the funny bone, and reflects on the debilitating effects of guilt and the need for personal freedom.

    The three characters are united not only by their friendship and budding affection but also by an emotional connection to a body of water located just outside of Minneapolis.
