Not a bad book, kinda long.
Go back to the 50's, to a neighborhood in Washington DC.  Meet a group of kids-Jewish and follow along as they grow up.  You bounce back and forth from childhood to present time.  You have Marilyn who is battling cancer, Barbara and their friend Penny.   There is Bernie who married Marilyn, "Wish" Barbara's boyfriend and Steve who grew up to be a world famous rock singer.  It is an interesting story that intertwines the stories and lives of these people.
