A dangerous age

A family of women drawn together by the terrors and trials of the times. Louise is coping with the possible loss of the young man she has improbably fallen in love with, especially now that he has vowed revenge for the injuries suffered by his twin brother in Iraq. Winifred's fiance flew to New York for an early morning meeting at the World Trade Center on 9/11. Now, just as she is starting to experience life again, the war once more threatens to take away what happiness she has found. And for Olivia, the strong-willed independent editor of a newspaper, the Iraqi War is a subject for editorials, a far-off conflict that she can write about with both passion and detachment until her own newly wedded husband gets called up for service.
