<div>En la conservadora comunidad de Oceandrive hay un grupo de mujeres que se re&#250;nen en torno a la iglesia de Upper Room a contar los chismes del pueblo: tres j&#243;venes, Nadia, Luke y Aubrey se enredan en un tri&#225;ngulo amoroso. Narrada a m&#250;ltiples voces y con una fascinante prosa l&#237;rica, la historia es una mezcla de secretos, amistad, traici&#243;n y muerte que marca el paso de la adolescencia a la adultez, con el sinsabor de una pregunta molesta: &#191;y si hubiera tomado otra decisi&#243;n? Nacida en el sur de California.

Mourning her own mother&#39;s recent suicide, she takes up with the local pastor&#39;s son. Luke Sheppard is twenty-one, a former football star whose injury has reduced him to waiting tables at a diner. They are young; it&#39;s not serious. But the pregnancy that results from this teen romance&#8212;and the subsequent cover-up&#8212;will have an impact that goes far beyond their youth. As Nadia hides her secret from everyone, including Aubrey, her God-fearing best friend, the years move quickly. Soon, Nadia, Luke, and Aubrey are full-fledged adults and still living in debt to the choices they made that one seaside summer, caught in a love triangle they must carefully maneuver, and dogged by the constant, nagging question: What if they had chosen differently? In entrancing, lyrical prose,&#160;The Mothers&#160;asks whether a &#34;what if&#34; can be more powerful than an experience itself.</i><br> &#160;</div>
