On the surface, Ilana Goldstein leads an enviable life:
she has a thriving career and a happy marriage to a handsome
doctor. All that's missing is a baby, an emptiness that
will surely be filled with time . . .
Then, in an instant, her life falls apart. Now, beneath
Ilanas once flawless exterior hides a dark secret that
may destroy the woman who seemed to have it all.
Following a rapid succession of crushing trials, Ilana
turns to prescription medications to take the edge off
her agony—both the ache of her body and the anguish
of her soul. But when her desperation to dull the pain
leads to the downward spiral of addiction, her friends
in the Newport Ladies Book Club must do whatever it
takes to save one of their own. Will Ilana's devastating
losses bring about her own self-destruction, or will the
loving determination of friends and family lend her the
strength to overcome?
