"Compelling. . . breathtaking. . . unique." --Washington Post Book World
Meet the Saving Graces, four very different friends who get together once a week to kick back and take shelter from the trials and triumphs of their lives. Emma, the brazen skeptic with a soft heart, is hopelessly in love with a married man. Rudy, the fighter, is desperately trying to hold on to a deeply troubled marriage. Lee, "the normal one," longs for a baby--and overwhelming desire that threatens to destroy her idyllic marriage. Isabel, divorced and free, is falling for her neighbor, a man whom she is sure is gay.
For the past ten years their unexpected friendship has helped them cope with husbands, lovers, careers, children and everything in between. Though they've always been there for each other, when tragedy strikes their love, loyalty, and courage is put to the ultimate test. As this mesmerizing story eloquently captures, men, jobs and crises come and go, but nothing lasts like true friendship.
