description: On the surface, it would seem that Belle and Sheryl have nothing in common. Belle, a white, twice-divorced single mother, has just moved with her teenage daughter to a predominantly black- and poor- neighborhood. Sheryl, a black single mom who lives next door with her strong-willed mother, would love nothing more than to pull herself out of the hopelessness of the ghetto. To Lex, Belle’s daughter, sometimes it seems that everyone in the world is pretty and thin- everyone, that is, except for her. Dena, Sheryl's daughter, once one of the popular girls, is now feeling the pain of being a social outcast. The only thing that Dena ever wanted from life was not to end up like her mother – 16, pregnant and alone. But, sadly, it may already be too late. Soon, these women will learn a very valuable Underneath it all, we are all the same. That simple lesson will give these women the courage to love themselves, the strength to watch over one another, and the wisdom! to cherish their differences.
