Three women in their 20s go into 2002 hoping to make some changes. Aimee has finally met a great guy, but he doesn't know about her job as a prostitute. Jane wants to find a man who makes her feel safe but ends up with a hyper jealous tattooist. Jen isn't looking for love, just trying to figure out how to explain her lifestyle to her conservative Christian mother who is bound and determined to visit Jen in Miami Beach. One of these women will die, and her death will ripple through their group of friends leading to drastic changes and unexpected consequences.
Set in 2002, Stay Here is for readers who like lush description and complex flawed characters who are just trying to be better and mostly failing with tragic results. The story covers one year in the life of a group of friends coming of age in a post 9-11 America and examines how friendships and family ties are strained and broken by our own flaws.
