I have a notebook to write about
these women. I am falling in love with
each one. You don’t know them yet but I
want to introduce you.
Grace Carr is the young wife of an
aspiring politician. You’d assume she
has it all. She’s beautiful, young,
wealthy, social with a hunky husband and all the attention she could want. They tell her she has plenty of time to have
kids but she has a secret that will cost her everything. Does she leave her lifestyle to save her
husband from ruin? Does she stand up for
her ideals even if it means his career will be permanently tarnished, chastise
her husband for the choices he helped her to make when he knew the cost and
tell the world the truth of her new dysfunction? Both choices could leave her in ruin. Only one path is politically correct. The other will set her on the path to
freedom. Could she handle that freedom
when it goes against his politics and her religion?
Jada Miller is a woman
scorned by life. After a long battle against
pregnancy loss she is widowed young, loses her adopted daughter and has a lonely future ahead of her. Her many losses
have broken her and given her wisdom beyond her years. People don’t appreciate that wisdom. They leave her isolated in her grief. She is not responsible for any pain caused to
her family but she hears the assuming whispers of others who think so much
could never happen to a person undeserving. Can one stranger heal a past full of so many dark memories? How does she grow after all this loss?
Will she be strong enough to allow the love of another man into her
heart? Could she stand to try again?
Cynthia Barker is a sassy
independent woman. She transferred
across the country to live with her boyfriend of 6 years. He never wanted kids and she thought she was
infertile from a surgery she’d had years earlier. They were a career-minded couple with the
nice house, expensive cars and many expensive creature comforts. Then she got pregnant and he abandoned her
with a mortgage and a car payment she couldn’t afford. Her friend moved in after she sold most of
her belongings because she had nowhere to go.
She finds out her baby is sick and the choice she makes leads her to
road of activism for families everywhere.
Her boss fired her but no one
will recognize that she was fired unjustly, based on the trauma she just
experienced. What is that choice that changes so many? How could one woman stand up to feminists and
politicians alike and win?
Alicia Attali is a heavier woman
with endometriosis. Her added weight in
a circle of beautiful people creates self-esteem issues that make her
want to eat more. She tries to be
good-humored for her husband. She laughs
a lot and privately she cries a lot.
Every month she wants to please her husband. She wants to be pregnant more than anything
but even with the help of drugs she never is. It’s been almost a year that she’s been
taking the drugs and it was two years before that when she started trying. She wants to do more but her doctor keeps
telling her to lose weight. He doesn't want to put her health at risk so he sends her to a nutritionists and she sees a personal trainer.
She tries not to binge. She’ll do so well and then someone will say
something to her that will make her despair and she’ll cry and eat from shame. This is how she learned to cope as a child
when the teasing began and now it’s ruining her life and her marriage. During a charity ball she
meets Grace. They don’t know it yet but
they will save each other from ruin.
It’s a story of friendship and a
story of the hardship it is to become a parent.
These women wade the dark waters of infertility and live to tell about
it. They come together to stand up
against a world that would try to silence them and the world is made better for
it. It’s about the power that women have
and what can happen when they harness their voices in the right way. There is love, passion and heartbreak. You will be wildly attached to these women
and realize they could be your neighbor, co-worker or even your best friend.
