Leigh  Cady  Vanessa  and Susan meet when they become roommates in a townhouse on Manhattans Upper East Side. New York in 1963 is a place of magical enchantment and infinite possibilities  especially when youre young and eager for the adventure a big city offers. Even being crammed together in a single bedroom with a kitchen too small to accommodate a table and chairs cant diminish their high spirits. A casting assistant at a talent company  Leigh is the level-headed one  the calm at the center of the whirlwind that is their lives. Cady is a prep-school teacher  emotional  passionate  and ready for love. Vanessa  a stewardess  craves her independence above all else. Susan is the wild card. Mercurial and unconventional  she makes a decision that will have far-reaching consequences in her life-and in the lives  through the years  of the others.  Sleeping and dreaming side by side  Leigh  Cady  Vanessa  and Susan could not know the decisions they made in 1963 would be challenged later  not only because they had been young when they made them  but because the world itself was going to change around them. And then  of course  there were the events in their young lives that no one could control...the events that changed everything.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789807607861,"sku":"ByrdShop_0525947132","price":43.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780525947134.jpg?v=1784699738","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-roommating-season-9780525947134","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
