In her thirty-ninth bestselling novel, Danielle Steel brings to life the story of three women, old roommates from college, who come together after twenty years, one summer at The Ranch.

They had been inseparable in college.

Mary Stuart, Tanya, and Zoe. But in the years since then, the three had moved on with their lives, settled in different cities, and found successful careers and, for some of them, new roles as mothers and wives. By chance, each would find herself alone for a few weeks one summer, wrestling with both the present and the past. At a sprawling ranch in the foothills of Wyoming's Grand Tetons, the three women meet again and find courage, healing, and truth, and reach out to each other once again.

Despite the honesty they once shared, now pretense among them runs high.

Mary Stuart Walker, married for twenty-one years to a Manhattan lawyer, kept herself busy with volunteer work, and now masks the loneliness that consumes her life. A year has passed, and Mary Stuart still hasn't gotten over the guilt, or the fear that her husband will never forgive her for their son's death... Tanya Thomas, an award-winning singer and rock star of international celebrity and

proportions, enjoys all the trappings of fame and success - a mansion in Bel Air, legions of fans, and a broken heart.
