With a voice as vivid and riveting as her characters, Donna Hill introduces readers to a gutsy, unforgettable heroine they will applaud from the first page to the last--a woman who boldly, blindly, dares to trade a lifestyle for a life... For someone who's always played by the rules, Regina Everette has broken some doozies lately. First, she divorces a perfectly good provider--and the father of her two children--simply because their marriage wasn't working. Now she's quit her job simply because she wasn't fulfilled. Her kids are shell-shocked. Her girlfriends are scandalized. Her mother is appalled. Nobody knows what on earth she's doing...including Regina herself. Unemployed and unattached, exhilarated and scared to death, Regina fumbles her way into an existence that has no boundaries. As her choices create a ripple effect through the lives of her family and friends, she falls headlong into a new career and a new relationship, certain of just one thing: from here on in, she'll live--and love--on her terms.   "A spellbinding story that will give any reader or book club plenty to talk about!" --RT Book Reviews… (mehr)

When I first saw this book, I knew I'd found something special.After reading it however, I knew for a fact that this was a powerful book. Not only does the main character Regina, reflects the some of the everyday woman in her struggles, she also shows what can be accomplished when one decides to change the situation they are in. The first thing about this book is that it shows a turning point in someone's life and how those around the main character deals with the changes she make. The main reason why I love this book is because although it focus on Regina, it also covers the lives of her two other friend Toni, and Vanessa as well as combining their stories without missing a beat. The other issue I like that this book explores is the perceptions we as people in general have able each other.Even reading this now, I'm sure that you have a friend that you view in a particular way.Now let's image for a minute that this friend was to come up to you one day and totally say something shocking.How would you take it?This is something that the three friends must deal with after Regina confronts her friends and tells them how she really feels. For the most part, this book is spectacular.Not only does in manage to use vivid characters and realistic conversations, also it leaves the reader with a feeling of satisfaction at the ending knowing that Regina found her own identity in the world and that someday, we'll do the same.
