From the back cover: "For ten years, Emma, Rudy, Lee, and Isabel have shared a deep affection that has helped them deal with the ebb and flow of expectations and disappointments common to us all. Calling themselves the Saving Graces, the quartet is united by understanding, honesty, and acceptance - - a connection that has grown stronger as the years go by...Though these sisters of the heart and soul have seen it all, talked through it all, Emma, Rudy, Lee, and Isabel will not be prepared for a crisis of astounding proportions that will put their love and courage to the ultimate test."

A rich and satisfying story about the depth of friendship, love and caring between 4 very different women, each facing their own struggles and heartaches in life. Wisdom and hope are intertwined in a story that brings smiles and tears to the reader. It was not the easiest book to get into right away, but after persevering through the initial chapters I was hooked and couldn't wait to find out what would happen next in the lives of each remarkable character.
