Getting to happy

After reading Waiting To Exhale I immediately went into it's sequel, set some 20 years after the events of the original novel. The four women are now in their forties, once again facing some of the biggest challenges of their lives. Robin is struggling to keep her family together in the aftermath of a devastating tragedy. Gloria is coming to terms with the fact that her current relationship might be her last chance at happiness. Bernadine is trying to figure out how to balance work and motherhood without sacrificing her sanity. And Savannah, always the stable one, is starting to wonder if she's been too afraid to take risks in her own life. As these women strive to get to happy, they are forced to confront the often painful realities of their pasts and present realities. Terry McMillian's Getting To Happy is a poignant and funny sequel about friendship, love, loss, and forgiveness.
