Review # 1 was written on 2021-02-04 00:00:00 Richard McClellan Subtitle: Two Women, Two Continents, and One Enduring Friendship Sara James and Ginger Mauney met when they were in middle school. Shared confidences during a slumber party cemented their friendship. Despite moving far apart (Mauney settled in Namibia; James in New York), they remained close. This is a shared memoir of their friendship. We learn of their various steps and missteps in becoming independent, strong women. The career they chose. The men they fell for (and got hurt by). And finally, their personal and professional successes. Good for them. I was bored.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-03 00:00:00 Robert Mcdougal I'm not sure what made me pick this book up, and I'm not sure what made me read past the first few chapters because it took some time to get into, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Now, I wouldn't call it great literature, but it is a good read, very "human" and feeling. This would be the kind of book I would choose as a beach read. The story is about two women who have been friends since high school and who are now in their 40s. It traces their lives and their friendship as they grow and become the people they are. One of the things that makes the story intersting is that one of them women is a news reporter who travels all over the world, and the other moves to Africa--so there are all kinds of different things going on than you would normally have right here in the US. The story reminds me how important friends are, how having someone to talk to and rely on, no matter what, is really important.
