Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Emotional need is the tie that binds Eve Cameron and Ruthann Bucknum in this sensitive portrayal of two women at crucial turning points of their lives. Eve is distraught over the death of her son and her husband's betrayal. Ruthann has escaped an abusive marriage with little more than the clothes on her back and a beat-up Chevy wagon. They meet outside a supermarket where Ruthann is toting a sign: "Will work for food." The relationship that develops between the two spans four decades, but it is Eve and Ruthann's first year together on which the story focuses. We are allowed into their respective viewpoints as each begins to heal and fall in love again, and as they fight rumors of lesbianism, open a business together and conquer old fears. Readers of this latest by the author of Once in a Lifetime will be rewarded with a poignant account of unconditional friendship and love

A wonderful gift for a best friend!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sunsets (Paperback)
When my friend gave me this book to read, I looked at her like she was nuts. "I don't even LIKE to read," I told her. "Trust me," she said, "This is not like every other book." And she was right. I could not put it down! If you have a friend who has been with you at the best and worst times of your life--- read this book, then give it to her. You'll cry, you'll laugh, heck--- I even got mad at it and threw it across the room! You will experience every emotion a true friendship is filled with. And in my opinion, any book that can arouse that many feelings in a reader is definitely a well-written one.

A wonderful read,
By "cajungenes" (Louisiana United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunsets (Paperback)
This is my favorite Constance O'Day Flannery book. I love the story line. It made me laugh and cry and I love how everything doesn't turn out perfect, although the ending is wonderful. This is a warm, funny, sad, romantic, fantastic story about lifelong friends. I love this book.

How could I have lent this and never get it back ? It is a great read... very uplifting, romantic, and even if you don't ever get it back it's the perfect book to share with a friend.
