Suburbanistas

Stella Powers is an A-list movie star, who's just landed an Oscar-worthy role and married a hot new rock-star husband when her mother's unexpected death brings her whole world tumbling down. Floundering as a full-time mom for the very first time to her six-year-old daughter, Stella finds herself stuck back in the same old sleepy New Jersey suburb she thought she escaped from twenty years before. Only Stella has the clout to help make Mary Jean's dreams for Homewood come true. The stakes for both women, for their children, and for their town are high. How can these old friends reconnect after so much time? Or maybe more important, how can they not?
