Stella and Ellen, Telly and Ellie: best friends. In a story that spans decades, from when they first peeked behind their mothers' skirts in kindergarten, through new adventures in a ladies' dormitory in Manila and the relationships that grew from their small circle, this novel will take you on a journey of self discovery and sacrifices in a very special friendship severely tested by the rivalry for the attention of their many childhood crushes and in maturity, for the heart of Albert, the love of their life.
