The Art of Saying Goodbye by Ellyn Bache
Summer must be the season of sentimental books. This is the story of a neighborhood and the women who live there. They vary in ages and background. What they all have in common is their relationship to Paisley. Throughout the book we learn of secrets and how Paisley has affected the lives of each of these women. In order to get back to her tennis game Paisley is having some elective foot surgery. At the clinic it is Paisley's neighbor Julianne doing the pre-op check-in for her. When Julianne touches Paisley she knows immediately that something is wrong - her psychic ability tells her it is serious. With a diagnosis of pancreatic and liver cancer Paisley doesn't have long to live. During the next three months this group of women will try to give back to Paisley some of which she gave to them. Touching and heart-breaking.
