Ruth Johnson has finally left her abusive husband of fourteen years and jumped feet first into 'What the hell do I do now?' oblivion. Into her life comes the fiesty, outspoken Bernice a.k.a. 'Bernie;' sweet Southern belle, May; and the older, wiser, and gentler Clara. These four very different women, each with different stories to tell, come together under the sometimes tenuous, but always unbreakable bond of friendship. Life is just getting interesting and if they hold on to each other, they just might make it.
