This place of wonder : a novel
(Adult Book)

When famous chef Augustus Beauvais dies suddenly, he leaves behind four women--an ex-wife, a girlfriend, an estranged daughter, and a stepdaughter--who must grapple with their feelings of anger and loss and find a way to move on with their lives.

Meadow Beauvais has always struggled with the infidelities of her husband, famed chef Augustus Beauvais. Even after his death. His estranged daughter Maya, recently out of rehab, is more unforgiving. Norah, his latest girlfriend, had sidelined her own career for a life of luxury with Augustus, and now that is gone. Rory, Meadow's daughter is a voice of calm in a chorus of discontent. As the four women are flung together-- and the circumstances around his death are called into question-- the only choice they have is to rely on each other. -- adapted from back cover
