Wives, Friends & Lovers

Now, though, disaster was threatening and the three women had to learn the hard way that being apart was sometimes the best way to remain friends. For Laura, still madly in love with her husband, the hardest lesson of all was putting herself and her happiness before her friends. But at least she still had the man she loved...or did she?

quotes#914033 from my notebook ...
Their sweet childish voices in the background, as they squabbled over who was going to talk to her first, were the most beautiful, the most normal counds Laura had heard in the whole of this traumatic day. p370
[cliche but still good to ponder:]
... it was a grain of comfort. p297
[sometimes a grain is enough:]
