Thursday, 8: 00 a.m. Mocha Moments, Breakfast Club!

Every week, these words appear in the calendars of four women. Every week, they meet for breakfast--and to talk, to share the truths they've discovered about their lives. To tell their stories. To offer each other encouragement and unfailing support.

Clare has just been through a devastating and unexpected divorce. She's driven by anger and revenge--until she learns something about her ex-husband that forces her to question her own actions. Forces her to look deep inside for the forgiveness she's rejected...and the person she used to be.

Elizabeth is a widow, in her late fifties, a successful professional. A woman who's determined not to waste another second of her life. And if that life should include romantic possibilities--well, why not?

Karen is in her twenties, and she believes these should be the years for taking risks, reaching for your dreams. Her dream is to be an actor. Except that her parents think she should be more like her sister, the very conventional Victoria!

Julia is turning forty this year. Her husband's career is established, her kids are finally in their teens and she's just started her own business. Everything's going according to schedule--until she discovers she's pregnant. That's not part of the plan.

For four women who meet for breakfast every Thursday at eight, their differences only serve to draw them closer together as they share in each other's sorrows and joys. And each woman's unique story becomes an opportunity to learn, to nurture and to overcome life's obstacles... together.

It is an unashamedly chick-lit book at its best, offering four cleverly interwoven stories unfolding over breakfast every Thursday at eight.

You are offered the stories of four very different women: Clare has just been through a divorce and needs to rethink her life; Elizabeth is in her fifties, widowed, successful and is determined to live life to the full; Karen wants to act but her appalling mother just wants her to be like her equally appalling but very respectable sister; Julia finally has time for herself and for her new business until she finds out she is pregnant!

Easily completed within in a day, this is one of the better Debbie Macomber books ( )

I got to read this book through a bookring via bookcrossing.com. What a great story about women and how they are the glue that hold each other together. ( )

Another wonderful book by Debbie Macomber. This book portrays four women who meet for breakfast every Thursday morning. Each one has different problems in her life. She how they share their stories and what happens to each. ( )
