Book Description:

On the surface, it is a monthly book club. But for five women, it is something more precious -- a chance to share their hopes and fears and triumphs.

Eve -- husband's sudden death has turned her world upside down, cheating her of every security she had planned on

Annie -- a brilliant attorney at forty-three she has decided to have a baby, but all the determination in the world can't change the cold reality in nature

Doris -- forced to acknowledge her dying marriage, she finds the ultimate freedom in her husband's betrayal.

Gabriella -- the "perfect" wife, mother and friend, who offers support to everyone but is afraid to ask for it herself

Midge -- an artist who has always lived her life against the grain; but suddenly she's feeling like a stranger to the very people who should know her best

They are women in transition, and as they embrace the challenge of change, they will hold fast to the true magic of the book club -- friendship.

This book is about a group of women who become great friends because of a book club that they form. It is a good story line and a quick read. And the characters are believable and lovable. I guess I just wish the author had developed them over a longer time frame. Overall, I really did enjoy the book.

This book is an awesome read! I read this with an online book group and we got to chat with Mary Alice Monroe about it. You will laugh, cry, and scream with the characters. It will touch your life in a way that you will continue to think about it long after you turn the last page. They will become your best friends. I highly recommend this book. I have my copy and I won't let it go.
