Second Chance

Meredith Martin Delinn has lost everything: her friends, her possessions, her social status. Her husband, Freddy, was arrested and convicted after being caught operating a fraudulent financial scheme that resulted in billions of dollars in losses for his wealthy investors. Meredith, who knew nothing, finds herself completely helpless. With nowhere to turn, she calls her best friend from childhood and adolescence, Constance Flute, who is also struggling: not only has she not yet gotten over her husband's death, but she is also fighting with her only daughter. En route to a restorative summer on the paradise island of Nantucket, her friend rescues Meredith from the legions of paparazzi for a brief beach getaway. When Toby, Connie's brother and Meredith's ex-boyfriend from high school, reappears to spend some time there, the memories he evokes make her reflect on the life she was leading and the one she could have had.
