In Departures, Adrienne Bellamy introduced a cast of unique, strong women living in a Philadelphia neighborhood, whose colorful lives intersected with a bang, causing great drama and family struggles. In the tradition of The Women of Brewster Place, the women of Departures reunite-and a whole new crew is added to the mix...  Sheila has finally gotten her nursing degree. Emily and Jared are back together-for now. And seventeen-year-old Amber is on the verge of womanhood, looking forward to the future. There are plenty of reasons for the women of this Philly neighborhood to celebrate-especially as they conquer new worlds by moving out to the suburbs. But life always has surprises (and problems) in store. Even as they enjoy their reunion, they find they still need each other's support to make it through, and with a few newcomers joining in-like the handsome doctor Purdy and the secretive blonde bombshell Stefana-the party is just getting started.
