My Dearest Friend

Description for MY DEAREST FRIEND by Nancy Thayer:

What is the essence of friendship for a woman? The bond between mother and child? The shared moments with a lover? The trust between two women? In AMY DEAREST FRIEND, Nancy Thayer charts the uncertain territory of the heart in an unforgettable novel of one woman's romantic reawakening.

For Daphne Miller, it is a time of sad farewells---and uncertain beginnings. Her long-time love has recently died and her sixteen-year-old daughter is off to California to live with the father she hardly knows, leaving Daphne on her own for the first time. Her new life begins in a quiet Vermont town where, in the rustic, golden charm of the surrounding countryside, a warm friendship develops between Daphne and a young married college professor. But as their relationship deepens, she relives the betrayals in her own past and reevaluates her role as "the other woman", prompting her to make a heartbreaking decision---one that leads her unexpectedly into the arms of the man she loves.
