MILK GLASS MOON
(ADRIANA TRIGIANI)
Sometimes letting go is
the hardest thing do to
Whether it's climbing on the roof, drinking cocktails or falling in love, daughters
always think they known better than their mothers.
For Ave Maria, anxiously watching Etta grown from a 12-year-old tomboy
into a young woman, the hardest thing is admitting
that sometimes, maybe they do.
After, does Ave Maria want her own life to be the pattern
her daughter follows? She and Jack my be learning fifty, after
fifteen years of marriage, but, as a fortune-teller warns Ave,
life has a way of surprising you when you least expect it.
It's not only Etta who is growing and changing, friends Ave has
known all her life seem unexpectedly different.
The handsome Pete Rutledge, for example, has a way
of popping up that Ave find unsetting, but hard to resist.
And the curly-haired Italian boy who's working
for Jack seems to have a similar effect on Etta.
