Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Beauty and privilege, a charming, handsome husband and two promising young daughters, money, a beach house on the Pacific--Jane has everything that Mattie thinks she wants. But Jane always works to damage what she's given. Mattie knows that better than anyone. But even she is caught off-guard when Jane leaves her whole life behind one broken morning before dawn. And it will take Mattie awhile to see that, by driving away, Jane has forced open the questions that have always hung in the air between them--the ones that are hardest to answer--questions about desire and envy and integrity. These are the issues of the heart that reveal themselves, not through the bold and dramatic gestures of a woman like Jane, but in even the briefest moments and the smallest of acts. With the same rich language and keen, compassionate eye that earned acclaim for her first novel, Lise Haines delves here into the forces that memory and touch raise in our lives and our most private hungers. A provocative and captivating novel about two women shw must finally face the tensions that have threatened their friendship from its girlhood start: envy, a penchant for drama, loneliness, and insecurity. Mattie believes that her friend Jane has the "whole life": a great husband, promising children, a thriving career, and now the affluence that comes with inheriting a home on Miramar Beach near Santa Barbara. Then, early one morning, while her husband is still asleep, Jane simply drives away, , abandoning her whole life to Mattie - who might well choose to make it her own.
