Rent The Cure for Modern Life

Synopsis

Though Matthew and Amelia were once in love and planning to raise a family together, they are now professional "enemies." To Amelia, whose life has been dedicated to charity, Matthew's job as a high-powered executive has turned him into a heartless person who doesn't care about anything but money.

And yet, on a frigid night, while walking to his upscale Philadelphia loft, Matthew finds himself on a desolate bridge, face to face with a homeless boy screaming for help. Ten-year-old Danny is as streetwise as he is world-weary, and his desperation to save his little sister makes him every bit the match for the cynical executive. Matthew's unwilling involvement with Danny will sent off a chain of events that draws in Amelia and even their old college friend Ben - changing all of their lives irrevocably.

Dazzlingly written, with a riveting story that will resonate with book clubs and listeners everywhere, Lisa Tucker's The Cure for Modern Life is a smart, humorous, big-hearted morality tale about the way we live now and what it means in the twenty-first century to be responsible, to care about other people, and to do the right thing.
