Ask Again, Yes

Ask Again, Yes

Mary Beth Keane
Coming of Age, Contemporary Fiction, Literary Fiction

In the suburbs of New York, two rookie cops—Francis Gleeson and Brian Stanhope—move their young families next door to one another. At first, their lives appear ordinary, marked by quiet dinners and dreams of stability. Yet behind closed doors simmer loneliness, restlessness, and a fragile grip on control.

For Kate Gleeson and Peter Stanhope, born just months apart, childhood friendship blooms into something deeper, a rare bond that feels unbreakable. But one violent night shatters both families, leaving scars that echo for decades.

Across thirty years, Kate and Peter struggle with loyalty, loss, and the staggering question of how much can truly be forgiven. If love survives betrayal, can it ever return whole—or must it transform into something entirely new?
