review 1: What else is there to do when your only sister calls saying your mother is dying and you discover your high paying, prestigious job in New York City is lost? Just what Gillian does, rethinks her life and heads home, in this case to California to try and pry her once vibrant, healthy mother out of bed. As Gillian tries to adapt herself to living back in her childhood home, she meets an interesting, handsome man several doors down who has also moved back home to care for his ailing father. Coincidence or fate? Gillian is not so sure she wants to return to NYC and her once hectic, lonely lifestyle.This novel fits today's lifestyle and economy, where many people are losing their jobs, rethinking their lives and job paths, making difficult decisions, and moving in and caring fo... morer aging parents.
review 2: Gillian Ormsby, the older daughter of Dorothy Ormsby and her younger sister, Allie, are the focus of this story. Gillian who lives in New York as a high-powered executive at a firm which is about to be taken over and all upper management will be let go. Allie has phoned her older sister to come immediately to California to help out with their Mother who believes she is dying, although hypochondria may be closer to the truth. Gillian leaves for California and the sibling rivalry begins as well as the constant battle to get their ailing Mother out of bed and back with the living. Along comes neighbor, Adam, and a spark begins between him and Gillian which may promise to become something more to Gillian than just friendship.A very enjoyable read. less
