    About this ebook

    This is the incredible story of friendship brought about by the game
    of Bridge. Two young women meet when their children begin
    Kindergarten. Their story continues as told in this book. One has a
    fascination for Bridge and teaches her new friend the game. We learn
    about the four women that play together and the absolute fun they
    have. There is tragedy entwined at their game table. It also includes the
    husbands and children as a fun group over the years. They are from very
    different backgrounds which we learn little of, yet it is enough. However,
    one of the women has a background she is unwilling to share at all. In the
    end, we learn why.


    On a trip to celebrate their almost 30 year friendship, Kate and Simone
    fly to NYC to shop, see theater and enjoy wonderful restaurants. Naturally,
    the Bridge cards go along for 2-handed Bridge like these two have enjoyed
    during their friendship. On most of the journey they are playing in the
    airplane. During the trip, the past thirty years is remembered by Kate, the
    main character in the book who is narrating the story.


    Kate is thinking about the present, and the past, alternating between the
    two time-frames, going back, and then returning to the present; back and forth.
    Some she keeps to herself and some she discusses with Simone.


    One of the husbands is a wealthy philanthropic father of twins, murdered
    for no reason. His father-in-law, the Chief-of Police cant solve the crime
    and it goes cold. It was a brutal murder for no reason. There had been a
    stranger lurking they knew nothing about.


    The book spans Kates first marriage and takes you into her second.
    It takes you graphically into both bedrooms. This book does not fail to
    knock on any bedroom doors.


    In the end, much is learned about their friend that never wanted
    to share her past
