Synopsis

Beverly, Charmaine, and Evelyn -- three sisters living in the same Maryland town outside Washington, D.C., each wishing her life were just a little different. Beverly is twenty-nine and single. She's a successful magazine editor who would love to be in love. The problem is, no man can meet her high standards. Charmaine longs to finish her degree, but meanwhile, she has to juggle a thankless job, a beautiful child, and an irresponsible husband she doesn't quite have the nerve to leave. Evelyn seems to have it made. She has a successful psychology practice and her husband is a partner in a prestigious law firm. But there's trouble in paradise, and Evelyn refuses to face the facts.
Warm and bittersweet, believable and real, SISTERS & LOVERS is a novel of family and love, heartache and hope, and above all, the triumph of sisterhood.
""Riveting . . . Lively . . . Hilarious . . . Three sisters who are remarkably different except in one respect: their men are driving them crazy." -- Mademoiselle

From AudioFile:

Three sisters, very different from one another, share a special bond and help each other through troubles with men. Charlayne Woodard reads with feeling and energy, her moderately paced alto clear throughout. However, the critical flaw in this performance is lack of character differentiation. Woodard initially makes an effort, but each vocal characterization lasts for only a sentence or two; furthermore, the absence of gender distinction creates confusion in several dialogues. This is unfortunate indeed since a major factor in listening enjoyment is clearly established characters. J.H.B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
