Stop the clock

Alison Mercer

Meet Lucy, Tina and Natalie, twenty something friends who are all negotiating the risky business of being grown up. Lucy knows exactly what she wants: her marriage to be a success, her children to be perfect, and to be the ultimate home maker. Tina knows what she wants too: her journalism career to take off and to see her name as a byline in a national newspaper, and the illicit affair she's started leaves her free enough to follow her dreams. Natalie just wants to be happy, happy with the boyfriend she's dated since college, happy with the job she's drifted into, happy with a life she thinks is enough, but is it really? Ten years later, all three women have the lives they thought they wanted. But somehow, reality isn't quite as neat and clean cut as their dreams.
