NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the National Book Award-winning author of Three Junes comes the story of Greenie Duquette, who lavishes most of her passionate energy on her Greenwich Village bakery and her young son--until she makes an impulsive decision that will change the course of several lives around her.
Greenie's husband, Alan, seems to have fallen into a midlife depression, while Walter, her closest professional ally, is nursing a broken heart.
