2000s: Two sisters, estranged, are reunited after twenty years
2000s: Two sisters, estranged, are reunited after twenty years
“We all make mistakes, but for Meghann Dontess the terrible choice she made some years ago cost her everything, including the love of her sister, Claire. Meghann is now a highly successful attorney, and has put all thoughts of love completely behind her – until she meets the one man who believes he can change her mind.
Claire has fallen in love for the first time in her life, and as her wedding day approaches she prepares to face her strong-willed older sister. Reunited after two decades, these two women who believe they have nothing in common will try to become what they never were: a family.
The main city in the story and where Claire lives. It used to be a quiet town apparently until the tourists found it and now the scourge of the city is like that of others – bumper to bumper nightmares.The outcoor activities are what make this city thriver however. Activities of all kinds are possible and indeed encouraged here. With stunning view of Puget Sound and Bainbridge Island. This is the land of the lakes.
“Outside, it was a gloriously bright June day. Early in the so-called summer. Everywhere else in the country, people were swimming and barbecuing and organising poolside picnics. Here in good ole Seattle, people were methodically, checking their calendars and muttering that it was June, damn it.”
“Puget Sound was as a flat as a summer lake. Even the mountains appeared smaller, as if they too had been beaten down by the unexpected heat”
The vast area of eastern Washington state which Clare calls the desert. This is the landscape of natural beauty just outside of Seattle where two of the characters first meet back in 1989 “the year Madonna urged people to express themselves”
