When Kathleen meets Joyce, each has come to a turning point in her life. Kathleen, whose sister died of breast cancer fifteen years earlier, has just been diagnosed herself and finds her world abruptly thrown into terrifying turmoil. At the same time Joyce is struggling to cope with her awkward adolescent daughter and burgeoning career as a writer, and is growing increasingly distant from her husband. Neither woman realizes that their chance meeting will result in a life-altering friendship. With her trademark wisdom and humour, Anita Diamant explores the lives of modern women, who manage the precarious balance of marriage, career, motherhood and companionship. Good Harbor is at once a poignant and refreshingly honest novel.
