Laura Lucas is numbed by the loss, a loss that is paralleled in the spate of upscale construction—and attendant destruction—in her starter-home neighborhood. It’s about Laura's relationship with a young tree surgeon who slowly becomes a replacement for her son—but also an object of desire.\u003cbr\u003eThe story reveals the delicate nexus where solace becomes sex; the role of men and women as unmarried friends; and examines grief in a marriage. It portrays the pain of change and the poignancy of acceptance through Laura's eyes, and occasionally, through the quirky outlook of her ten-year-old daughter. And before the story ends, another brutal, random accident will redefine Laura's life once again.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pegasus Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031479927024,"sku":"9781605982557","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781605982557_p0.jpg?v=1763834916","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781605982557","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
