Fortunate harbor

the long version

Join five women connected only by their growing friendship and the road that runs like a lifeline between their cottages in a run-down Florida development called Happiness Key. Tracy Deloche finally gets a chance to swap business for a romantic evening, until she spots her ex-husband prowling around. Janya Kapur envies every pregnant woman she sees, but her husband is reluctant to talk about children. Waitress Wanda Gray loses her job, and neighbor Alice Brooks suggests she start her own business. Then the empty cottage is rented by a mother and daughter who have moved far too often. -- Adapted from back cover.
