This book has well defined characters and explores relationships in a variety of different points of concern. It is a powerful, read between the lines, strong type woman book. Each woman overcomes her weaknesses by leaning on other women in her life and daring to make the changes. It has extremely funny moments and touches on abusive relationships that women remain in and the consequences of running, child abuse, cancer, love, fear, hopes, aspirations and oh so much more. A bit offbeat but a great read.
