Title: And on the eighth day she rested
Description: "Ruth Johnson has finally left her abusive husband of fourteen years and jumped feetfirst into "What the hell do I do now?" oblivion. Then into her life come three unforgettable women who turn her world upside down. Feisty, outspoken Bernice, a.k.a. "Bernie," has been there and done that when it comes to love and marriage.

Her ex-husband is settled down with his much younger wife and her kids are grown, and Bernie is looking to enjoy her fellow man - in more ways than one - no strings attached... or so she thinks. Sweet Southern belle May has it all: a beautiful home, two wonderful children, and a fine husband who worships the ground she walks on, yet a shadow hangs over what should be her equally perfect life, threatening to shake up her happy home. The older, wiser Clara is their guiding force, and when disaster strikes, all three women rally around her, determined to see her through it.

Life is just getting interesting, and if they hold on to one another, they just might make it."--BOOK JACKET.
