Part of Sisterhood, book 4
First published 2011
Paula Woodley endures another beating from her husband, a powerful Washington political broker who believes his status makes him untouchable. Her broken bones heal, but her shattered confidence remains. She has nowhere to turn against a man whose influence reaches into every corridor of power. Then the Sisterhood enters her life. These seven women from different backgrounds share an unbreakable bond forged through their own experiences with betrayal and injustice. They possess extensive resources, skilled expertise, and loyal contacts across the globe. The group recently lost one of their own members, but they refuse to let grief stop them from helping women in need. Paula's husband has never heard of their organization because it appears in no official records or government files. He controls his world through intimidation and political connections. The Sisterhood operates by different rules. They believe life deals unfair hands, but they won't accept that reality without fighting back. Paula's husband thinks he holds all the power in Washington. He's about to discover that some meetings happen outside his control, and this time he won't be setting the terms.
