Description

About the Book

After 11 years of devotion to her father, Isabel Moore suddenly finds herself with what most people dream of: a chance to create a totally new existence. Witty, brave, intelligent, and passionate, she sets out to conquer the world.

Book Synopsis

When Isabel Moore's father dies, she finds herself, at the age of thirty, suddenly freed from eleven years of uninterrupted care for a helpless man. With all the patterns of her life suddenly rendered meaningless, she turns to childhood friends for support, gets a job, and becomes involved with two very different men. But just as her future begins to emerge, her past throws up a daunting challenge.

A moving story of self-reinvention, Final Payments is a timeless exploration of the nature of friendship, desire, guilt, and love.
