On Tenterhooks is the first of 3 novellas in a series that features strong women faced with life-altering moments, and highlights the importance of female friendship and companionship.
On Tenterhooks synopsis: During the summer of 2010, two friends, Lucy, a job-hopping orphan, and Claire, a brilliant entrepreneur and single mother, simultaneously come to a halt when they discover the diary of a young woman hidden in the walls of Lucy’s Chicago apartment. After being fired for the 4th time in one year, Lucy takes solace in the story of the poor Polish girl known only as “CW,” and her friend Mae, a successful French seamstress for Chicago’s high society.
Although they are living in the 1930s, CW’s story also takes hold of Claire, as both their lives struggle with domestic abuse. CW, having dipped her toe into a world teeming with privilege, along with her friend Mae, find themselves wrapped up in a series of events that leads CW to realize that her life can only take flight with the death of her abusive father.
As Claire and Lucy read through the diary, they find all too similar parallels to their own lives and comfort knowing women (no matter what era in which they are living) all wrestle with similar struggles.
