Join the Ten Cow Wives' Club for lunch-a monthly ritual where five outwardly average yet inwardly eclectic women recount the fascinating events of their lives. Heather, Crystal, Ships, and Tanya have been best friends since childhood. Now, as the trials of adult life pull at the cords of their hearts, they find comfort in each other-and plenty of sound advice from their newfound "older" ally, Maxine. From the trivial to the profound, this group's absorbing stories will carry you on a fun, and sometimes poignant ride through the awkward teen years, into the scary but thrilling world of college, and headlong into the delights and struggles of married life. With her trademark warmth and humor, Joni Hilton weaves a funny, fiercely perceptive story of romance, friendship, and forgiveness-and shows we are each a little stronger with the support of a few close friends.
