Reunion
About This Book
It is June 2021, and three college friends in their forties are heading to New England for their twenty-fifth reunion, which was postponed the year before. The gathering takes place on a college campus on the coast of Maine. Hope is a stay-at-home mom who longs to see her beloved campus again. She wants a break from a tense marriage and the strain of parenting through a pandemic. Adam is reluctant to leave the quiet, secluded life he shares with his wife and their young sons. Polly, a single mother, has not been back in more than twenty years and has no wish to go, until her struggling teenage son suggests making a road trip of it. The reunion turns out to be nothing like any of them expected. Hope, always cheerful, can no longer play down the pressures at home or the cracks in her long friendships. Adam is energized by memories of his carefree, reckless younger self, which only reminds him how much has changed. Polly cannot ignore the ghosts of her college years, including a secret she has guarded closely. When the weekend takes a startling turn, all three must reckon with the past and with what it means for their futures. Elise Juska, the author of the novel The Blessings, explores the highs and lows of friendship in this story.
