| The Saving Graces is a women's group that consists of 4 permanent members: Emma, Rudy, Lee, and Isabel. Together these women have been through it all - love, divorce, jobs, friends, financial issues, you name it. They have stayed the closest of friends and find it hard to believe they could survive without each other.
In the book, we witness all of the events of a few years in these women's lives. We learn about Lee's fertility issues, Rudy's marriage problems, Emma's man problems, and Isabel's failed marriage. Through it all, the women stick together. But when Isabel's breast cancer returns, the women need each other more than ever. Can they make it through this time together? The book is narrated by all four characters. | ||
