In this insightful book that deals with abortion, marital infidelity, and unwed motherhood, Coomer writes of how Life has drawn together three women, each of whom has had a disastrous relationship that has left each bearing a load of guilt. Charlotte, a recently widowed archaeologist, Grace, an aging blue-haired widow who has inherited a wooden motor yacht, and Chloe, an unwed, pregnant, emotional 17-year-old become shipmates off the New England coast. As the share their lives, the three learn of the vexatious relationships each has had---Charlotte's with her in-laws after the death of their son; Grace's with her daughter who is unforgiving of her mother's marital infidelity; and Chloe's with her pathologically 'moralistic' parents. A genuine bond develops between the three, and they begin to learn how to forgive themselves and how to "live forward".
