Part of Sisterhood, book 2
First published 2005
Julia Webster sits in Myra Rutledge's Virginia home surrounded by six friends who saved her from despair. Fresh iced tea and shrimp fritters fill the table as the women plan their second mission together. Julia's husband is a U.S. Senator who built his career on her grace and connections while secretly betraying her trust and crushing her hopes. He used her social standing to climb the political ladder, then discarded her dreams without a second thought. Now he stands on the verge of his biggest political triumph, confident in his power and untouchable status. The Sisterhood has other plans. These seven women discovered each other during their darkest moments and forged bonds strong enough to heal old wounds. They brought laughter back into lives that seemed broken beyond repair. Julia's friends refuse to let her suffering go unanswered. The senator thinks he has won everything, but he made one fatal mistake. He hurt the wrong woman, and she has six fierce allies ready to show him what real power looks like.
