To My Dearest Friends by Patricia Volk



This delightful little novel packs a real punch.  A story about friendship, differences, love, and obligation.  Two women who met only breifly had a mutual friend who died of cancer.  She left the two women she valued the most to open her saftey deposit box.  Following her instructions, the women determined their task, which was to find her lover.  Shock that she had an illicit affair caused them to reconsider what we know about one another in life and about how secrets can define us, for good or for bad.
