"Sylvie Haydn is a forty-something mother of one. Maggie Hathaway is a forty-something mother of 3. These two women live very different lives...Sylvie is a free spirit and very artistic while Maggie is a perfectionist whose life is all about rules and order. A chance encounter reveals these women have much more in common than they could have ever imagined.<br/><br/>I really enjoyed seeing how both women dealt with crisis and was amazed at the differences in their reactions. Initially Sylvie was a far more likeable character than Maggie; however as the story progressed I began to warm up to her.<br/><br/>Great read."
