Set adrift after accepting a buy-out from a sneaker company, former corporate executive Noreen flounders as she decides what to do next. Discovering that walking has less to do with vanity than it does with sanity, she joins neighbors Tess and Rosie in walking 10,000 steps a day around their small beach community. Almost imperceptibly changing her conversational timbre, Kymberly Dakin distinguishes each vastly different woman--and dramatizes the eventual discovery of all three that they are on the same path to middle age. Especially charming are Dakin's portrayals of Noreen's na•ve but lovingly concerned mother, who is adjusting to her own new circumstances, and Tess's petulant teenage daughter. Step by step, the members of the trio talk their way into self-acceptance and develop the courage to walk into the future. E.V.B. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

The lives of a suddenly jobless corporate executive, a teacher navigating a difficult relationship with her daughter and a young lavender farmer intertwine in Cook's straightforward novel. When a generous compensation package gives Noreen "Nora" Kelly-whose career defined her identity-18 months salary to forge a new path, she realizes she has little in common with her former work companions and strikes up a friendship with next-door neighbor Tess Tabares, who's struggling to connect with her college-bound daughter. The women begin taking daily walks and soon Rosemary "Rosie" Stockton, who owns her family's lavender farm, joins in. Despite their very different-yet all very prickly-personalities, the three women soon form a tight bond. With her easygoing style, Cook (Must Love Dogs) engages readers, drawing them into the daily lives of these new friends. Geographical inconsistencies-the novel is set in Massachusetts but has a distinctive Southern flair-may bother some readers but most will be satisfied with this breezy beach read.
