Publisher's Summary

A portrait of a talented and courageous woman physician who stares at her reflection in the glass ceiling, and decides to seek and find a more meaningful life.

Roberta Jeanne d'Arc Cole is favored to be named associate chief of medicine at a Boston hospital. She is married to a surgeon. They own a trophy residence on historic Brattle Street in Cambridge and a summer house in the Berkshire Hills.

Everything melts away. Her gender and her work at an abortion clinic cost her the hospital appointment. Her marriage fails. Crushed, she goes to the farmhouse in Western Massachusetts, thinking to sell it, and finds an unexpected life. How she continues to fight for every woman's right to choose, while acknowledging her own ticking clock and maternal yearning, makes this prize-winning third story of the Cole trilogy as relevant as tomorrow.

Not great

Compared to the two previous books, this one was pretty poor. I really didn’t care that much about the lead character, and having artist had a very hard time playing male voicesI. I could never tell whether it was a guy talking or a girl talking. Maybe it was just me.

I was hoping for better, but

I liked it, but it was nowhere as good as the first two books were. Still I would recommend it because it ties up the trilogy nicely.
