Idgie Says:Wendy once again pulls together a group of characters that while struggling through issues - mainly of their own making - they remain closely bonded with each other and always go for the greater good.
This story involves a famous actress, a behind the scenes but also famous voice actress and an inspiring fashion designer. Also, a most adorable Russian body builder/nurse. These are the main characters with a swirling of others surrounding them. People that love them, people that want to use them and others that simply want to put themselves first. The actress's family is a pile of.......... well, you'll find out.
There is a secret that could tear apart their entire friendship - 20 years down the drain. The question is whether this secret should come out at all, is there a need for it or will it just stir up too much hurt and anger to recover from.
A fine example of "woman's fiction" and perfect for a summer read.
