Gift of Friends by Kimberly Diede

There is no greater gift than friendship.
For the first time in fifty years, Lynette Howe’s financial struggles are behind her. Her wildly prosperous online boutique is now someone else’s headache. It wasn’t hard to bid farewell to the fast-paced lifestyle of New York City, but designing her new life in the quiet town she left decades ago isn’t working.

Men used to find her intriguing—mysterious, even—when her role as a stylish CEO demanded most of her time. Women’s desire to emulate her only helped fuel her success. But now? Now she spends her days poking around the small town of Ruby Shores, talking to a cat.

She isn’t the only one struggling. Her mother, Donna, remains by her side, but sometimes it feels like their roles have reversed. Even though they’ve accomplished great things together, both women harbor unspoken dreams. Will their codependency lead to regrets?
