While We Were Watching Downton Abbey

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF TEN BEACH ROAD AND OCEAN BEACH, A NEW NOVEL OF FOUR FRIENDS€"AND A SHARED PASSION THAT COULD CHANGE THEIR LIVES.  
When the concierge of The Alexander, a historic Atlanta apartment building, invites his fellow residents to join him for weekly screenings of Downton Abbey, four very different people find themselves connecting with the addictive drama, and€"even more unexpectedly€"with each other€¦
Samantha Davis married young and for the wrong reason: the security of old Atlanta money€"for herself and for her orphaned brother and sister. She never expected her marriage to be complicated by love and compromised by a shattering family betrayal.
Claire Walker is now an empty nester and struggling author who left her home in the suburbs for the old world charm of The Alexander, and for a new and productive life. But she soon wonders if clinging to old dreams can be more destructive than having no dreams at all.
And then there€s Brooke MacKenzie, a woman in constant battle with her faithless ex-husband. She€s just starting to realize that it€s time to take a deep breath and come to terms with the fact that her life is not the fairy tale she thought it would be.
For Samantha, Claire, Brooke€"and Edward, who arranges the weekly gatherings€"it will be a season of surprises as they forge a bond that will sustain them through some of life€s hardest moments€"all of it reflected in the unfolding drama, comedy, and convergent lives of Downton Abbey.
