He runs a bagel shop and wants her to vacate their apartment, for he has found his soul mate in a younger woman. Desperate, Harriet answers an ad in the New York Review of Books to share a cottage on Cape Cod with a woman who is looking for a ghostwriter to writer her biography. The woman is Isabel Krug, a woman with a scandalous past. Problem is, Isabel won't tell the truth. While Harriet is discovering what Isabel is hiding, she also discovers her own ambitions.
