Everything to Lose — Jennifer Bacia

When four friends reconnect at a school reunion each played her part too well. On the surface Leith is the happily married society wife â€" yet no one could guess at her shocking secret life. Cate, single, with a brilliant career lacks to courage to risk everything to get what she really wants. Rory, a successful editor, has overruled her partner's qualms to have a baby before it is too late â€" then finds herself paying a price she could never have foreseen. Judith appears the devoted wife and mother but beneath the façade she is close to breaking point. Offered a most unlikely lifeline, she must make a decision that could cost her everything.
If they had had the courage to tell each other the truth that night, perhaps one of them might not have had to face an agonizing ordeal in a packed courtroom.
Compelling contemporary writing that cuts to the heart of women's friendships, strengths, secrets and self-deception.
