However, she sees herself differently: almost forty, jobless, aimless, alone. She's an imposter hiding her failure from everyone, including her oldest group of friends-the Mathey Girls, named after their old Princeton dorm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen fellow Mathey Girl Claire dies in childbirth, Esther steps in to support Claire's grief-stricken husband by caring for his nine-year-old daughter Hannah for the summer.
