Bound in friendship!,
By A Customer
This review is from: First Saturday (Hardcover)

A Celebration of Women,
By A Customer
This review is from: First Saturday (Hardcover)
As women, we all know the extraordinary value of our female friendships. We know the support system, the laughs, the tears. Rosemary O'Brien's "First Saturday" is a celebration of those adult female relationships. O'Brien's writing style flows easily off the page, bringing you instantly into these women's lives and homes--you feel as if you are sitting there at the table with them, sipping coffee and listening. Their stories are the stories of women everywhere--real and raw. This book reminds us that life may not be easy, and it may not be made easier by friends, but that you can count on your friend being there and holding your hand throughout. When you close the last page of this book, you feel as if you have made four new friends, and you know that through the bonds among women, there will be a hand held out for you when you need it.
