On the eve of turning forty, Amara is gathering the people who've been part of every chapter so far — the college friends, the first-job crew, the family, the neighbors. One long table, four courses, one toast per decade. Dress like you mean it.

My favorite tiny soccer player. See you Saturday, bud! Come with running shoes so we can score one more goal before pizza.

Six years old. My little man. We'll be there — Nonna is baking pizzelle for the whole party. Save me the biggest hug.
