Publisher Description

Mia, Laney, Betts and Ginger, best friends since law school, have reunited for a long weekend as Betts waits for Senate confirmation of her appointment to the Supreme Court. Nicknamed 'the Ms. Bradwells' during their first class at law school in 1979, the four have supported one another through life's challenges: marriages and divorces, births and deaths, career setbacks and triumphs large and small. But when the Senate hearings uncover a deeply buried skeleton in the friends' collective closet, the Ms. Bradwells retreat to a summer house on the Chesapeake Bay, where they find themselves reliving a much darker period in their past - one that stirs up secrets they've kept for, and from, one another, and could change their lives forever.

"This novel is intelligent and engaging. I'm so impressed by the way Meg Waite Clayton takes us deep into the lives of these fascinating characters. What a wonderful way to spend some time with smart women and to learn about their struggles to make strong careers and lives in a changing world. There's mystery here too, which pulls us along, toward a strong ending."

    " Great story of friendship and its nuances, secrets and dynamics. As an attorney, I appreciated the female attorney characters, who were well developed. Loved how it explored womens' rights and self perceptions. A page turner that kept you guessing. "

    " the story was interesting, and as a lawyer, I liked the book. I found the stories/voices to be a little confusing, and blending. It was hard to remember who was telling what chapter, because in some respects, they all sounded the same... "

    " Enjoyed this one quite a bit. Tackles some weighty women's issues and written with an intellectual slant. Plus, the book was formed around a mystery, which was fun and kept me engaged. It took me a little while to get to know the characters, though, and there was some hokeyness at the end...but overall, a very good read. I plan to read more from this author. "

    " Quick, fun read with some good reminders of important life truisms but I thought the voices between the four Bradwells did not distinguish themselves enough. "

    " The story line with the four friends sounded interesting, but the last thing I want to read right now is a book about liberal, political women in office. "

    " I was eagerly anticipating reading this book since I met the author while traveling. The early part of the book is very slow and did not really grab me. I'm close to the end now and it's gotten somewhat better. "

    " I dragged myself through this book. The characters weren't particularly sympathetic and the book telegraphed the ending. I just kept reading to make sure that I had guessed correctly about the ending. "

    " I found this to be a good book. It is about Betts, a lawyer that has been nominated for the supreme court. It chronicles something in her past that may derail the nomination and what happened in the past and present. "

    " A "smarter" chick lit. It covers all the classic topics - friendship, loyalty, mother/daughter relationships, with a serious story - but the main characters happen to be very intelligent and the book is written with "smarter" language and references. "
