Felicity McCall
Reckoning

Three friends. Three dreams. Three loves. One day of reckoning.

On a school trip to Dublin, fifteen-year-olds Dori, Sheila and Anita write out their secret dreams, aspirations and predictions for the future and seal them in an envelope --- to be opened a quarter of a century later.

Just as each woman is forced to admit that their planned reunion --- maybe even their friendship ---is low on her list of priorities, the envelope suddenly reappears. With it comes a surprising urgency to fulfil their teenage plan .

What forgotten secrets will it contain? What will they disclose about their life and relationships? And what confession will each woman have to make as she faces her fortieth birthday?

For the three friends, their reunion in Dublin and the opening of the envelope will be a day of reckoning...
