The women of Freesia Court are convinced that there is nothing good coffee, delectable desserts, and a strong shoulder canât fix. Laughter is the glue that holds them togetherâthe foundation of a book group they call AHEB (Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons), an unofficial âclubâ that becomes much more. It becomes a lifeline. Holding on through forty eventful years, thereâs Faith, a lonely mother of twins who harbors a terrible secret that has condemned her to living a lie; big, beautiful Audrey, the resident sex queen who knows that with good posture and an attitude you can get away with anything; Merit, the shy doctorâs wife with the face of an angel and the private hell of an abusive husband; Kari, a wise woman with a wonderful laugh who knows the greatest gifts appear after lifeâs fiercest storms; and finally, Slip, a tiny spitfire of a woman who isnât afraid to look trouble straight in the eye.
This stalwart group of friends depicts a special slice of American life, of stay-at-home days and new careers, of children and grandchildren, of bold beginnings and second chances, in which the power of forgiveness, understanding, and the perfectly timed giggle fit is the CPR that mends broken hearts and shattered dreams.
