First and foremost this is a book about an extraordinary friendship. A story of two young women that met while one of them was in severe crisis and the bond that was born when the other saved her life. For a quarter of a century these women traveled life's journey together helping one another survive life in America. If your life or the lives of people that you love have been affected by drug addiction or mental illness then you might relate to this story. If you've ever had a crisis of faith then you might relate to this story. If you're a woman that has had to say "#MeToo" (or if you've had cause but you've been unable to voice it) then you might relate to this story. And if you've ever lost someone that you love... you'll relate to this story.
