Journal Entry 1 by havfaith from Mead, Washington USA on Saturday, November 08, 2003

Every Thursday at eight, four women meet for breakfast — and to talk. To tell their stories, recount their sorrows and their joys. To offer each other encouragement and unstinting support.

Clare has just been through a devastating divorce. She's driven by anger and revenge . . . until she learns something about her ex-husband that forces her to look deep inside for the forgiveness and compassion she's rejected — and for the person she used to be.

Elizabeth is widowed, in her late fifties, a successful professional — a woman who's determined not to waste another second of her life. And if that life should include romantic possibilities — well, why not?

Karen is in her twenties, the years for taking risks, testing your dreams. Her dream is to be an actor. So what if her parents think she should be more like her sister, the very respectable Victoria?

Julia is turning forty this year. Her husband's career is established, her kids are finally in their teens and she's just started her own business. Everything's going according to plan — until she gets pregnant!

Really enjoyed this!

4 women in different stages of life become friends after a journal writing class. It follows all four over the course of a year as they all discover what's truly important in life.

Reading this book is like hanging out with friends...


If you enjoy this book, you should check out Between Friends, also by Macomber. It's another excellent book about friendship!

This book was okay. Some parts I enjoyed more than others. I did like the end of the book, the happiness of Zach's birth, the sadness of Michael's death.

This doesn't make me want to run out and buy a bunch more books by this author, but I'm open to reading another one later if one sounds interesting.

Thanks again for sharing, havfaith!
