Ask again, yes (Broché)

Gillam, upstate New York : a town of ordinary, big-lawned, suburban houses. The Gleesons have recently moved there and soon welcome the Stanhopes as their new neighbours. Lonely Lena Gleeson wants a friend, but Anne Stanhope - cold, elegant, unstable - wants to be left alone. When a terrible tragedy engulfs them all, the families are divided, seemingly for good. Until their children, Kate and Peter, meet again as adults, and the violence of past events must be vanquished by the power of love.
