Synopsis

Meet Whitney, Taylor, and Charisse, three women who have been best friends since high school. However, this devoted troika is about to discover a wave of unexpected troubles.

Whitney is a plus-size woman who just can't turn down a box of Krispy Kremes or find a man who will stay put.

Taylor is in a long-term relationship with a boyfriend who's allergic to commitment.

Charisse is married, with two adorable children, but somehow doesn't have what she really wants—or needs.

Then suddenly Charisse spins out of control. Her doormat husband manages to stand up to her and even threatens to go public with a very shady secret Charisse had hoped to keep hidden, especially from her interfering mother. Desperate, she decides that only a very risky scheme will save her.

One constant for these women has been the support they've offered one another. But this time, how far can friendship go?

In this witty, rollicking, deeply poignant story, Kimberla Lawson Roby demonstrates the storytelling magic that has won her legions of adoring fans and made her novels bestsellers.

From AudioFile:

Grossly overweight, Whitney falls in love with a truly wonderful man; Taylor practices law and wants her boyfriend to commit to marriage; Charisse is a "true Christian" who abuses her husband and belittles her friends. All try to "change faces." Tracey Leigh's narrative is straightforward, bringing forth the strengths and flaws Roby has built into each woman's personality. When Charisse's abusive childhood comes to the fore, life takes a nasty turn. Whitney and Taylor also attempt to resolve their issues. Leigh tries to bring humor to this tale of negativity and abuse in which strong women are brought down by hubris and lack of faith.
