No tears or wear.

Synopsis: Lydia Blessing is 80 years old, and her mind drifts into the past of her impeccably WASP-y family--a past that includes her miserably married parents, her gay brother who committed suicide, her own bad marriage, and a strain of Jewish blood. Lydia figures her life is essentially over. And then she finds a baby on her doorstep....Industry Reviews: "[A] story of lost souls redeemed by love....[C]omfortable, not Quindlen's best. " Kirkus Reviews (09/01/2002) "When matters are finally determined, Anna Quindlen's immense sympathy for her characters remains intact, but her fidelity to certain truths is paramount: social class informs destiny; happiness is often recognized belatedly; and while some people are capable of heroic change, others must repeat their mistakes, with fatal results, because they're unable to learn from them. " New York Times Book Review-Hilma Wolitzer (09/22/2002) "...Ms Quindlen...is kind but never sweet. Sharp-eyed but not cruel. Opinionated but never, ever polemical. Anna Quindlen is America's Resident Sane Person. She has what Joyce called the common touch, the ability to speak to many people about what's on their minds before they have the vaguest idea what's on their minds.
