New, from the number one bestselling author of Hand-me-down Heartache and
Sorority Sisters, a novel about five women on the verge of turning thirty,
whose lives are changed forever when they meet through a national radio contest
At first glance, you couldn't find five women more different.
Catara is a personal shopper in New York who dreams of becoming a fashion
designer. Embarrassed by her weight, she lets a lack of self-confidence derail
her goals. In Atlanta, Lashawnda has gone from a string of bad relationships
with men into one with a woman that doesn't seem much better. Elise is
realizing her dream of opening up a gymnastics school in Louisville, Kentucky,
but between working and taking care of her grandmother, she can't find much
time to nurture herself. Tanya's relationship with her boyfriend is at the
breaking point. She's ready to leave Chicago and fast city living to settle
down and have a family, but her man isn't on the same page. Alecia lives in Los
Angeles and has been getting by on her looks for a long time, but when her
(married) boyfriend makes it clear that his wife comes first, she has to
realize that beauty fades and she must prepare for her future.
But these women do have something in common-they all share the same birthday
and are about to turn thirty. When the number one syndicated black radio show
in the country sponsors a Night Before Thirty Getaway Weekend, these women
meet, and while their time together is brief, the impact they have upon one
another's lives is everlasting. |
