I can't stop thinking about it. -- Laura Hankin, author of A Special Place for Women To call The Three Lives of Cate Kay epic in scope feels like an understatement.

Though the pace is leisurely, the tension of the story is taut and explores how ambitions clash with genuine connection and test the humanity of compassionate relationships. Fagan’s journalism-honed observational skills make her fiction debut shine. * Booklist *
