In the heat of a west coast summer three very different women, each poised for success, find themselves failing spectacularly. Janice, a devoted mother and housewife who s approaching fifty, is cold-heartedly abandoned by her husband; her elder daughter Margaret, a magazine editor, is driven back home by towering debts; and her teenage daughter Lizzie is humiliated by the boys whose affections she has unquestioningly embraced. At first they hide their downfalls - bankruptcy, addiction, promiscuity - from one another, but as the curtain-twitching world they inhabit begins to intrude, they find their secrets exposed. And in the midst of the manicured lawns and country club whispers, the Miller women cloister themselves in their suburban home and confront first their individual crises, then each other ... All We Ever Wanted Was Everything is an astonishing portrait of modern-day women trying to stay afloat, of secrets and lies, and of what happens when the world you know comes crashing down.

Review:
'From the ashes of their California dreams, the three women must learn to talk to each other instead of past each other, and build a new, slightly more realistic existence - but not without doses of revenge and hilarity. Brown's hip narrative reads like a sharp, contemporary twist on The Corrections'
-- Publishers Weekly
Book Description:
When life breaks you, who can you count on to pick up the pieces? One day is all is takes for three women's lives to come undone...

Book Description Paperback. Airport / Export ed. Set amid the manicured lawns, glossy Porsche four-wheel drives, and country club whispers of the Silicon Valley nouveau riche, ALL WE EVER WANTED WAS EVERYTHING chronicles one particularly eventful summer in the life of the Miller family. Three very different women, each poised for success, find themselves failing spectacularly: Janice, a devoted mother and housewife who's approaching fifty finds herself abandoned by her husband just as his lucrative IPO goes public; her adult daughter Margaret, a post-feminist magazine editor is left in the lurch by an investor who had promised to rescue her flagging publication; and her younger teenage daughter Lizzie, an endearingly na?ve fourteen-year-old struggling to understand the sexual politics and popularity contests that dominate high school, is humiliated by the boys whose affections she had so unquestioningly embraced. We follow the three of them over the course of one summer as at first they hide their crises - addiction, teenage promiscuity, bankruptcy - from one another, but then find their secrets exposed as the curtain-twitching world they inhabit begins to intrude. The Miller women cloister themselves in their suburban home for the summer and do battle with debt collectors, divorce lawyers, drug-dealing pool boys, and each other. ALL WE EVER WANTED WAS EVERYTHING is a thoughtful and clever study of three very different women trying to keep afloat; a wonderfully entertaining exploration of how our notions of failure, success, and personal fulfillment are complicated by the expectations of family, culture, and an increasingly money-obsessed society. First published 2008. 2008. A trade paperback copy in very good condition. Seller Inventory # 20269302
