When lifelong friends Eleanor and Lucy clash over a shocking revelation about their children\u2019s secret relationship, their Monday gatherings take a tense turn. As buried insecurities and long-held grudges surface, their bond faces the ultimate test of loyalty and forgiveness.\n
Each Monday, my friends and I, together for 55 years, gather to chat after babysitting our grandkids. This week, it was just Lucy and me, savoring the peace.\n
