More about the book
Diane Hammond’s vivid portrayal of life in the fictional small town of Hubbard, Oregon, shines in her latest novel. Returning to Hubbard, she introduces us to a cast of characters that feel like old friends. Anita and Bunny, high school pals, have taken different paths; Anita was a beauty queen runner-up while Bunny, a sweet single mother, unexpectedly married the charming Hack Neary. Now a successful salesman, Hack and Bunny enjoy a comfortable life, but after sixteen years of overlooking his white lies, Bunny is unsettled by his new flirtation and doubts about his commitment to their town. In contrast, Anita’s marriage to Bob is strained; he lacks ambition, leaving them struggling to support their family. Yet, his unwavering love for Anita and their daughter remains strong. As both women navigate their challenges, they lean on each other, discovering reserves of love and strength that help mend the wounds they unintentionally cause one another. In her darkest moments, Bunny reflects on the enduring value of love, realizing that past affections hold significant worth, no matter how much time has passed.
