Songs Without Words by Ann Packer

I loved this book so much and it was so resonant with me that I read it twice.

I don't want to spoil what all happens but it's a lot about female adult friendships and mothers (both lost and found) - and set in the modern Bay Area (always nice to have characters meeting monthly over a bowl of tom kha gai).
Also one of the characters has a therapist and has the same kind of thoughts that I sometimes have (what does the therapist do right before and right after the appt? - and other thoughts).
