Description

A rediscovered gem about women's friendship and the shared longings of young wives and mothers.Becca is a former dancer from Bennington, now an aspiring poet; a ditzy but brilliant young red head from Chicago who uses humor to fend off the world. Ulli is a calm, deeply optimistic, smoothly beautiful ex-fashion model from Sweden. Newly married-Ulli to a TV news anchor, Becca to a successful professor and expectant mothers living just off the campus of a major university, they meet in an adult ed class and begin a friendship that changes their lives. Raising their children together, telling the intimate secrets of the past, helping each other cope with their less than perfect marriages-to laugh at what is not perfect in life and appreciate what is-this is the story of the attraction of opposites, of the friendship we all once had and wish we had held onto.
