A Kentucky Derby weekend for two couples tests the high-stakes boundaries of friendship and marriage in a witty, winning, and emotional novel by the author of Feels Like Summer. Amid the heralded springtime traditions and fabulous splendor of the Kentucky Derby, two Boston couples--longtime friends--indulge in a once-in-a-lifetime getaway. The weekend feels like a winner. It's a milestone-birthday present for the newly--and reluctantly--turned forty Drew Starling. Her husband, Nate, has spared no expense, despite the mounting gambling debts that Drew knows nothing about. He's certain that with his lucky charm, Drew, by his side, he can reverse his misfortunes at Churchill Downs. Joining them are friends Leslie and Graham, floundering in a twelve-year marriage that desperately needs a change of scenery, a new spark. Graham especially looks forward to being in the Starlings' charmed orbit this weekend, though he won't say why. When the bourbon begins to flow and the horses thunder down the track, secrets and simmering tensions soon spill. As sure as the bugler's call and the winner's purse, the stakes of marriage and friendship on this revelatory weekend have never been so high.
