Ask Again, Yes

Scribner 2009 Paperback

Francis Gibson and Brian Stanhope, rookie NYPD copes, are neighbors in the suburbs. What happens behind closed doors in both houses—the loneliness of Francis’ wife, Lena and the instability of Brian’s wife, Anne—sets the stage for the explosive events to come.

In this extraordinary novel, a lifelong friendship and love blossoms between Kate Gleason and Peter Stanhope, born six months apart. One shocking night, their loyalties are divided, and their bond will be tested.
