Three grandmothers bound by one common thread

Barbara lost her son, a single dad, to senseless violence. Judy's daughter fell into a black hole of addiction. Ginger's girl threw away motherhood for money, status and materialism. And the grandmothers had to pick up the pieces....

Miraculously, they found one another, a mismatched trio with no common history, yet with so much to share. Together they found wisdom, strength and courage-and rediscovered the true meaning of faith.

I marry a gorgeous executive, have a baby, lose all the weight (most of it)–and move to a fine house in the suburbs with a welcoming new church. Wait–did I say welcoming? One teeny waaah! and new mothers and their crying babies are exiled to a separate room.

At least there's some enlightening conversation. Like about my husband and issues I didn't even know about! And then there's my aptly named mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth, who can't stand me. I'm about to lose my mind! So it's high time for a visit to the Sassy Sistahood for some much-needed advice about men, marriage and motherhood!
