Black Chokeberry

In a town in upstate New York, three women come together at crisis points in their lives—just when they need each other most…

Ellen, Ruby, and Frances are all neighbors in the small town of Oswego in upstate New York. Ellen has just moved back from Nashville, depressed over the end of her marriage. Ruby peeks out her window at the world outside, stages solo performances along with the kitchen radio, and monitors every bite of food that goes into her mouth. Disaster strikes when Ruby pays Ellen a neighborly visit—and winds up in the hospital after Ellen’s dog knocks her down the front steps. These two will soon unite with Frances to form a trio—sharing joy and pain as they work together to surmount the devastations of divorce, illness, death, storms, and accidents in order to create a new beginning for them all. Along the way, they will teach each other the transforming powers of good food, music, and the value of loving a faithful dog, as they learn to cope—and to love one another.
