Enter Sam, a senior at the local women's college, whom Elisabeth hires to babysit.

In short, they grow close. But when Sam finds an unlikely kindred spirit in Elisabeth's father-in-law, the true differences between the women's lives become starkly revealed and a betrayal has devastating consequences. A masterful exploration of motherhood, power dynamics, and privilege in its many forms, Friends and Strangers reveals how a single year can shape the course of a life.

Fifty years later, Nora is the matriarch of a big Catholic family with four grown children: John, a successful, if opportunistic, political consultant; Bridget, quietly preparing to have a baby with her girlfriend; Brian, at loose ends after a failed baseball career; and Patrick, Nora's favorite, the beautiful boy who gives her no end of heartache.

    En sen nattetime i 1947 kæmper en ung kvindelig tekstforfatter med et reklameslogan, som hun skal fremlægge næste morgen. En oneliner, der skal sætte prikken over i’et i en storstilet ny kampagne for diamantringe. Hun kradser 'A Diamond Is Forever' ned på en lap papir og falder i søvn uden at kunne ane, at hun netop har udødeliggjort sig selv.Mary Frances Gerety og hendes slogan spiller i de næste fire år- tier en afgørende rolle i bestræbelserne på at gøre diamantringen helt uundværlig i den amerikanske forlovelsesindustri, og Geretys egen personlige historie løber som en lysende tråd gennem de fire andre livshistorier, der tilsammen udgør 'Forbindelser'.En ring, fire nedslag i tiden, fem forskellige stemmer og næsten hundrede års historie foldes ud og kædes sammen i denne enestående amerikanske fortælling.
