About this item
Three generations of women learn to own their mistakes and rebuild their bonds as they prepare to compete in the South Florida Senior Synchronized Swimming Competition.
“A witty, touching story of resilience, forgiveness, complicated family dynamics, and second chances.”—Deepa Varadarajan, author of Late Bloomers
West Palm Beach, 1999. A phone call summons fifty-eight-year-old Cherie Anderson from frozen Minnesota to help her two mothers: Dale, who left her when she was five and now faces eviction from her budget-apartment complex, Soleil City, and Marlys, who raised her and is now dying but won't admit it. Cherie seeks a reason to stay in town long enough to assist Dale and support Marlys. She also needs a project to distract her pregnant daughter, Laura, whose marriage has fallen apart weeks before her due date.
The South Florida Senior Synchronized Swimming Competition seems like the answer. Winning the contest, with its ten-thousand-dollar prize, could help save Soleil City. With Laura, a former dance team captain, as their coach, they’ve got a fighting chance. Amid the competition, Cherie can focus on helping Marlys before it’s too late.
Over a month in an apartment complex filled with feisty, funny, strong-willed women in their seventies, four women forming an uneasy family will come to realize that in life and motherhood, there isn’t good and bad—there’s only trying to get it right. This heartwarming tale reveals the resilience and forgiveness required to navigate complicated family dynamics and seize second chances. ❤️📚❤️
