The Girls from Ames: A Story of Women and Friendship
reviewed on + 46 more book reviews


THE GIRLS FROM AMES are women just like all of us. They have they same life stories experienced by women everywhere; success, failure, addictions, divorce, loss. What makes this group of women unique is their commitment to each other and their friendship over a long stretch of years. What starts out as a sort of school 'clique' turns into a deep fellowship of trust and support, with a lot of laughter and some tears thrown in. They learn to rely and count on each other in deeper ways than most of us experience. Apart from a personal relationship with God, I'd say this is the best way to get through life.
