Three power-yoga centers, a spinning studio, and six coffee shops in the space of ten blocks. Juice bars, organic markets, and chic boutiques all along the Avenue. This was Santa Monica. For Eve - who'd left her hometown with next to nothing - being here seemed like a dream...

Eve wanted to find a better life - and discovered a world that seemed to offer everything she'd imagined, and more. Then she met three very special women who befriended her, and taught her what Santa Monica was all about. They explained the ins and outs, guided her through her new world - and helped her gain entrance into Butterflies and Puppy-dog Tails. It wasn't a club or a clique - but it was the hottest ticket in town. Because if your child wasn't accepted to this exclusive, top-drawer preschool, then you just didn't belong...

But soon, Eve would learn that belonging wasn't quite as important as it seemed. And that love, family - and friendship - were the most valuable treasures of all...
