  • Didn't want this book to end! The trio of ladies in this book remind me of the friends we all loved in "Fried Green Tomatoes". The writer does a wonderful job of telling the story of the beautiful bond of friendship between three women who were different, but alike in all that mattered. I laughed and cried while reading and wish it would be made into a movie! You don't want to miss this one!
