Book Description
The enduring, hard-won affection of a long marriage faces imminent derailment from events both past and present.
At fifty-seven, Julia Ames is living an improbably lovely life. Despite her inclination toward self-sabotage and prickly alienation, she has found herself with a husband she loves; two happy children; and a quiet, contented suburban existence. When she bumps into an old friend she hasn’t spoken to in years—a friend who almost ended Julia’s marriage decades prior—Julia finds herself reexamining her supposedly happy life. Compounded by a bombshell announcement from her son and by her daughter’s impending departure for college, this chance meeting threatens to send Julia spinning out of control.
Daunted by a looming empty nest, she becomes consumed with her checkered past—and with the chaos of her present. She grapples with a complicated new daughter-in-law, the reappearance of her own estranged mother, and the forbidden allure of rekindling a relationship that was once her lifeline and her downfall. Same As it Ever Was examines the complicated trajectory of one woman’s life and asks what it takes to form—and keep—a family.
