| book description |

The new top ten bestseller from Anne Tiernan is a powerful story about family, betrayal, and love. WIFE. WIDOW. MISTRESS. Three women collide at Rory's funeral, a man to whom they were all connected in different ways . . . Juliet never planned to be the other woman, but Rory was the only man she ever loved. Of course, he would go and die on her. Now, at his funeral, she hides at the back with the nobodies, while his wife and their son rightfully grieve up front. Maeve, a celebrated novelist, appears to have it all - except time for herself. Between her passive aggressive husband, two teenage sons, and caring for her ailing mother, Maeve's success feels hollow. And when she learns a disturbing secret, her carefully constructed life begins to unravel. Erica, Rory's widow, was the perfect wife - but Rory knew things about her that no one else can ever know. And now she's left with a question she doesn't want the answer to: had she lost Rory long before he died? In the wake of his death, she forms an unlikely connection with the last person she expected - Juliet, his gorgeous high-school girlfriend. As three women's lives collide, they must reconcile the realities of love, betrayal, and the limits of forgiveness - because what does it truly mean to be 'good', anyway?
