Thursdays at Eight

About this book

A time to think about lives lived, choices made. A time for friends... Every week, four women have an unmissable appointment in their calendars: they meet for breakfast. Clare has just been through a devastating divorce. She's driven by anger and revenge--until she learns something that forces her to question her own actions and to look deep inside for the person she used to be. Elizabeth is a successful professional. A widow, she's determined not to waste another second of her life. And maybe that includes romantic possibilities... Karen is in her twenties, and she believes these should be the years for taking risks. She's working on her dream of being an actor, despite her mother's severe disapproval. Julia is turning forty this year. Her husband's career is established, her kids are finally teenagers and she's just started her own business. Everything's going according to plan--until she discovers she's pregnant. Over a meal and coffee, the friends talk, tell their stories, and offer each other encouragement and unfailing support. They share the truths they've discovered about their lives.
