In the hottest summer for twenty years, the lives of three women collide.

Alison - sophisticated, successful, married to the ideal husband, but still wondering what the future holds.

Lia - serene, beautiful, living in blissful contentment with the man she loves.

Ginger - chaotic, effervescent, unable to hold down a relationship for more than a few weeks.

Three women with nothing in common - except that they are all about to become mothers for the first time. An unforgettable story of friendship, love and the choices that confront us all.
