Finishing touches - Patricia Scanlan

Cassie, Laura and Aileen. Schoolmates, soulmates, they shared the dreams, secrets and desires of young girls, and the passions, problems and aspirations of young women coming into their own. Cassie put her life on hold to attend to her family's needs. Laura and Aileen soared in their careers. Now they were together again as Cassie dared to make her impossible dream come true.

Aileen crossed the world to be with Cassie; Laura was there by her side. David offered her love, support and passion. And Cassie's spiteful sister Barbara schemed to undermine them all.

Cassie, the family caretaker, was liberated at last, ready to launch an interior design business with a disputed legacy that would bring out the worst - and the best - in her family, lovers and friends.
