About this listen

Ethel, Luce, and Ola, inseparable best friends navigating the murky waters of middle age, harbor secrets.

Ethel, dedicated middle school teacher, masks her crumbling world with a pretense of normalcy after her husband's sudden departure to India and the loss of her job. Meanwhile, Ola, the enigmatic proprietor of Ola’s Wise Old Books, hides the unsettling truths of her past, as well as a recent dire prognosis of cancer.

It’s Luce, the devoted stay-at-home mom, who unwittingly stumbles upon the first cracks in their carefully constructed facades. A chance encounter in the library unveils unsettling secrets about Ola, while a startling revelation from the middle school shatters the illusion of Ethel's stability.

An odd inheritance will bring all to light. Will their friendship survive?
