Sometimes Quickly — Anne Laughlin

Twenty years ago, Peg Ryan was a drunken, womanizing New York attorney who made a terrible mistake. Now 17 years sober, Peg thought she had put the past behind her. But as she is settling in a new position in Chicago, her past comes back to haunt her just as she falls in love with Allison, a real estate broker. Their friend Morgan, a police detective accustomed to one night stands, falls for Laura, the owner of a company on the brink of success. As Peg and Allison are dealing with Peg's past, Morgan and Laura question their future. The very different ways that each woman handles fear, values integrity, and cherishes and protects their loved one are revealed. Will their differences draw the women closer or drive them apart during this time of turmoil? Sometimes Quickly is a fast-paced tale about smart, capable women who don't always know the right thing to do, especially when making the wrong decision can cost them everything.
