Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons

The ladies of Freesia Court firmly believe that nothing is insurmountable when it comes to delicious pastries, strong coffee, and supportive relationships. Their shared laughter serves as the binding agent, forming the basis of an informal reading club they refer to as AHEB (Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons), which develops into much more. It turns into a lifesaver. The women who have persevered over the course of forty turbulent years are Faith, a lonely mother of twins who feels compelled to live a lie; Audrey, the resident sex queen who is big and beautiful and knows that you can get away with anything with good posture and an attitude; Merit, the quiet doctor's wife who has an angelic face but lives in an abusive marriage; Kari, a wise woman with a wonderful laugh who understands that the greatest gifts come after life's most intense storms; and Slip, a tiny spitfire of a woman who dares to confront trouble head-on.

This enduring group of friends portrays a unique aspect of American life, including stay-at-home moms and new careers, kids and grandkids, risk-taking beginnings and second chances, where the ability to forgive, understand, and have the right amount of humor can be the lifesaver that repairs broken hearts and dashed hopes.
