This story is about a group of African American women from all walks of life that come together, three as mental health professionals (Avery, Stephanie, Lisa) and three as mental health patients (Egypt, Andrea, Blakely), and they work to help each other overcome their troubled pasts through a special program called the Rose Program. All of the characters in this story were very complex, even the mental health professionals, having a chance to air their demons. It was written in a very free-flowing style and though I couldn't really relate to most of the characters or their backgrounds, the story was very easy to read and the action kept me riveted the entire way through. This story had a very realistic ending . . . perhaps a little too realistic for me. I like everyone to live happily ever after, at least when I'm reading fiction, and that definitely did not happen in this book. But, at the same time, sometimes we all need a wakeup call, to let you know how bad others have it, and I think this definitely does that. This edition did include a fair number of editorial errors, but the characters and story were engaging enough to overlook it. Engaging read!
