The Search for Claire Holowitz by Helen Hansen

Helen Hansen’s debut novel is a must read for anyone who believes in serendipity, friendship, marriages that last, and the promise of love even when it has once been lost. Scenes media executive Leen MacLeen, lawyer Sarah Calder, university professor Dr.Amy Keiffers, and psychiatrist Dr. Becky Sutherland have been best friends for over twenty-five years. When Amy purchases a home outside the city of Ottawa, the four friends are amused and intrigued by Amy’s neighbour Anna Wright and her quaint mannerisms; so much so, that they invite Anna into their circle of friendship. But Anna has secrets of her own and although willing to get to know the four women, she is wary of them learning too much about her past. When Leen is hired to organize a New York Gala to honour famed author, playwright, and photographer Claire Holowitz, she has no idea that her search for Claire will not only change her life but the lives of her best friends and that of Anna Wright. Leen’s search for Claire Holowitz will challenge each woman’s ethics, friendship, and love.
