Overview

A sparkling story of friendship, loss, and moving on after change

Ida, Nelly, Maisie, and Rose are the Lilac Ladies, and they have always been the best of friends—every week they swim, sip sodas, dance the tango, and eat cake together. But Lilac Ladies sometimes need a bit of looking after, and it is always Nelly who fixes things when they go wrong. So what happens when Nelly is no longer there? A touching story of how life goes on, even when everything around you reminds you of someone who has gone away.
