In this powerful story about the friendships between women, Ruth Johnson has finally left her abusive husband of fourteen years and jumped feet first into oblivion, when into her life comes the feisty, outspoken Bernice; sweet southern belle May; and the older, wiser and gentler Clara. These four very different women, each with a story to tell, come together under the sometimes tenuous, but always unbreakable bond of friendship. Life is just getting interesting, and if they hold on to each other, they just might make it. 'An absolute necessity' - The Nubian Chronicles
