Getting to Happy

Getting to Happy is an exuberant return to the four unforgettable heroines of Waiting to Exhale. Fifteen years later, Savannah, Gloria, Bernadine, and Robin are each at a midlife crossroads: Savannah has made too many concessions in her marriage, and decides to face life single again at fifty-one. Bernadine has watched her mega-divorce settlement dwindle, been swindled by Husband #2, and conned herself into thinking that pills will help distract her from her pain. Robin has an all-American case of shopaholism, while the big dream of her life—to wear a wedding dress—has gone unrealized. And Gloria has taken happiness and security for granted—but being at the wrong place, at the wrong time, can change everything. All four return to us full of spirit, sass, and faith in each other. They've exhaled; now they are learning to breathe.
