Описание:

On a sweltering Fourth of July, the suicide of fourteen-year-old Maureen Bowers father shatters her security. She fears that eventually, everyone she loves will abandon her.

With the words, May I have this dance, Frank Russo introduces himself to Maureen at a roller-skating rink. As he teaches her skate dancing, she falls deeply in love with him. Meanwhile, the country advances further into World War 2. They wait until they feel it is safe to marry only to return from their honeymoon to find Franks draft notice. He leaves for the Pacific and is gone for the next three years. When Franks best friend, Harvey, dies at Normandy, Maureens closest friend, June, walks out of her life too.

Frank returns from the war physically and emotionally scarred, Maureen does her best to mend him until their first childs birth hastens his recovery. They share rich experiences, develop close friendships, raise two daughters and eventually welcome the young womens husbands into their lives. When their children move from Brooklyn, New York to suburban Connecticut, Frank and Maureen follow and become active volunteers at the Bristol Senior Center. On the night of Lieutenant William Calleys conviction for the Mai Lai Massacre however, Frank is overcome with guilt. When he confesses his own wartime atrocities to Maureen, she struggles to understand the man she thought she knew.

Through fifty-plus years of marriage, Frank becomes the center of Maureens world until his sudden death shatters her faith and rekindles her deep fear of abandonment. She cant escape from the crushing loneliness. Friends, family and even ministers are helpless to lift her from her depression. Maureen finds tasks like driving a car, paying the bills, even cleaning the house overwhelming and her smallest joy feels like a betrayal to Frank. As she prepares to end her suffering, help comes from the unlikeliest of sources: Doris Cantrell. Following an abusive childhood, a troubled marriage and estrangement with her own daughter, Doris is as damaged as is Maureen. The mistreatment she inflicts on others evidences her contempt, yet underneath it all, Maureen senses a deep sadness.

Doris refuses to sympathize with Maureens plight and persists in exposing her to different experiences and new ways of living. Maureen also refuses to accept that Doriss past gave her the right to abuse people in the present or to neglect her bond with her daughter. Both women lack the strength or will to help anyone. Nevertheless, God has His own plan for these wounded angels. The inconsolable widow and the uncontrollable social misfit manage to support and help heal each other. They do this, not despite their brokenness, but because of it. Maureen and Doris become close friends.

As Maureen heals, the widower, Larry Kowalski, reenters her life. Through their shared experiences of love and loss, they fall deeply in love. However, will her daughters understand her being with another man? In addition, can Maureens friendship with Doris survive her love for Larry?
