Fifteen-year-old Betsy Ann Eubanks, who has never spent time away from home and never even met anyone Jewish before, is to live with the Bergs for six months, have her own baby, and agree never to contact the family again.

But the lives of Lily and her friends are less simple than Betsy imagines. Theres Lilys best friend, pregnant with a fourth child she desperately cant afford; and her sister, Rose, who is going to discover that her perfect husband is anything but.

Ohio, 1965. Every week a group of suburban housewives meet for their Tuesday card game, sharing gossip, advice and confidences.

Lily Berg has the perfect life. Shes married to a doctor, with an infant daughter and another on the way. She cant let her husband know shes struggling but she knows she can trust her friends. Becca, Lilys best friend and next-door neighbour, is everything Lily isnt. Shes messy and brash and never on time for anything. When she falls pregnant with a fourth child she desperately cant afford, she turns to Lily. Although Lilys little sister, Rose, got married last year, shes not ready to give up her independence. Her modern marriage appears to be perfect, but behind closed doors things are very different. And Betsy is fifteen, pregnant and frightened. When Lily takes her in, from the local home for unwed mothers, she has no idea how much it will shake up all of their lives.

Over six months, the group will be put to the test by secrets, forced to make impossible decisions and face up to a society that isnt ready for women to have their own dreams and ambitions.
