From the blurb:
"'Bright River Trilogy' is the story of three women united by their powerful attachment to one man- Darcy, a charming drifer and renegade divorced from an eccentric wife.
Lilly, his mother, is raising Darcy's son and struggling to preserve her family. Jessie has fled from a disastrous affair to her father's isolated farm. Ellen is leaving her childhood home to marry a man she does not love. All are haunted by the memories of past losses, and all search for redemption and affirmation in Darcy, whose passion for freedom keeps him elusive and unknowable. One by one, in mesmerizing counterpoint, their three voices examine and try to make sense of their desperate involvement. Together, they weave an enthralling narrative of their own lives and the substance of their humanity- their strengths, fears, and love.
With its empathy, truth, and emotional intensity, 'Bright River Trilogy' is a triumphant reaffirmation of the capacity of fiction to enrich our lives."
