Choices & Consequences
Five women, five lives, five secrets. Each woman is battling her own personal demons, and hiding a secret from her friends and family.
Each of them envying one another's life, wishing her life was different, wishing she had what the other woman had. But what happens when what appears to be real, is all a façade? Battling breast cancer, single parenthood, infidelity, the loss of a child, and managing the single life, can become overwhelming for these ladies.
Not satisfied with their lives, looking for something better, they contemplate alternative choices to improve their lives; crossing over to the other side of the fence is a very real possibility. They can't see beyond the choices they make, but they must be held accountable for them.
And after they have crossed the fence, they realize two things simultaneously. Yes, the grass was greener on the other side; and their grass could have been just as green, had they taken care of it.

What a great story of Five women who faced issues that could either destroy them or make them better. One faced a deadly disease. One faced the loss of her child and breakdown of her marriage. One faced a life changing decision and whether or not distance does make the heart grow fonder. One had begun a new relationship but her children were an issue she had yet to resolve her past. One has having an illicit affair that could shatter many lives.
Each of these ladies had a full plate that was threatening to overflow from weight on it. How will they survive? Will the fallout destroy their friendships? Can they find what they so desperately need?
I loved each of their stories and at times I wanted to shake each of them. I cried, I laughed at their antics and choices. There are some sexy bothers within these pages who are intricate parts of each of their stories.
Great read and a great storyteller..Thanks Ms. Ramsey for telling their walk in life..

Your Grass or Someone Else’s…Choices & Consequences!! 🔥
I know I’m a little late to the party, but all I can say is “Wow…Just Wow!” It took me a minute to realize we were hearing the alternating stories of five friends and the choices each made and the subsequent consequences!! Once I was completely onboard, my, my, my!! This book touched on so many different emotions and true-to-life situations!! I loved that they all had their Christianity to fall back on, along with the true camaraderie they all shared with each other!!
