  <description><![CDATA[Debbie Macomber tells the story of a remarkable friendship -- and tells it in a remarkable way. <em>Between Friends</em> is a story in which every woman will recognize herself . . . and her best friend.  <p>The friendship between Jillian Lawton and Lesley Adamski begins in the postwar era of the 1950s. As they grow up, their circumstances, their choices -- and their mistakes -- take them invirtually opposite directions. Lesley gets pregnant and marries young, living a cramped life defined by the demands of small children, not enough money, an unfaithful husband. Jillian lives those years on a college campus shaken by the Vietnam War and then as an idealistic young lawyer in New York City.  <p>Over the years and across the miles, through marriage, children, divorce and widowhood, Jillian and Lesley remain close, sharing every grief and every joy. There are no secrets between friends . . .</p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Debbie Macomber tells the story of a remarkable friendship -- and tells it in a remarkable way. <em>Between Friends</em> is a story in which every woman will recognize herself . . . and her best friend.  <p>The friendship between Jillian Lawton and Lesley Adamski begins in the postwar era of the 1950s. As they grow up, their circumstances, their choices -- and their mistakes -- take them invirtually opposite directions. Lesley gets pregnant and marries young, living a cramped life defined by the demands of small children, not enough money, an unfaithful husband. Jillian lives those years on a college campus shaken by the Vietnam War and then as an idealistic young lawyer in New York City.  <p>Over the years and across the miles, through marriage, children, divorce and widowhood, Jillian and Lesley remain close, sharing every grief and every joy. There are no secrets between friends . . .</p></p>]]>

Jillian lives those years on a college campus shaken by the Vietnam War and then as an idealistic young lawyer in New York City.  <p>Over the years and across the miles, through marriage, children, divorce and widowhood, Jillian and Lesley remain close, sharing every grief and every joy.
