The Opening, a heart tugging story of long lasting friendships, high flying dreams, and perilous loves, reads like a weekend with your best friends. Lucy discovers a prediction that she wrote over thirty years ago about herself and five high school girl friends. Her decision to find these friends and bring them together again opens both a treasure-trove of good memories and a Pandora’s box of troubles, self-doubts, and recriminations. In spite of being told as young women that they could have it all, these friends had to struggle with difficult decisions that still haunt them.
