Connections Elizabeth Guider

"Set against the seismic events that have shaped the America of today, Elizabeth Guider draws an affecting tale of a mother and her two daughters, of their love for one another, and of their love for the men that matter to them. She weaves her unforgettable story with restraint and wonderfully observed detail." - Wendy Oberman, Novelist and Playwright Spanning the last fifty years, this family saga focuses on three generations of women, who grapple with sex and marriage, the elusiveness of success and the power of love to get them through tough times. Told chiefly from the alternating points of view of two sisters who come of age in the 1960's, the story takes us from Princess phones and prom dresses to the Vietnam War, women's lib, the lure of Hollywood, 9/11 in Manhattan-and a family emergency like no other. Throughout the years the sisters often misread their own hearts or are mistreated by those they care about. When real crisis arises, they are challenged to summons their better angels. But can they? Connections is a standalone Historical Fiction novel.
