Every Thursday at 8 a.m., four women meet for breakfast and to talk. To tell their stories, recount their sorrows and their joys. To offer each other encouragement and unstinting support.

Clare has just been through a devastating divorce. She's driven by anger and revenge...until she learns something about her ex-husband that forces her to look deep inside for the forgiveness and compassion she's rejected and for the person she used to be.

Elizabeth is widowed, in her late 50s, a successful professional, a woman who's determined not to waste another second of her life. And if that life should include romantic possibilities, well, why not?

Karen is in her 20s, the years for taking risks, testing your dreams. Her dream is to be an actor. So what if her parents think she should be more like her sister, the very respectable Victoria?

Julia is turning 40 this year. Her husband's career is established, her kids are finally in their teens, and she's just started her own business. Everything's going according to plan...until she gets pregnant!

Thursdays at Eight has something for everyone. Four women, all different ages and life stages meet most Thursday mornings for coffee and share their lives with each other. I understand the recent term, "all the feels" that reviewers are using lately. This book held my interest with the characters all confronting their lives and all the feelings that arise, love, laughter, fear, anger, hate, anxiety, suspicion, understanding, caring, compassion, etc. Four smart, intelligent, capable women. Can't ask for more than that in a story.

A Great Story, a Quick Read

I have to say this was one of THE BEST audio books I've listened to, not to mention a great story line. Paula Parker did a FABULOUS job narrating. I almost wish I could search for audio books being narrated by the narrator... She did THAT excellent of a job. Definitely not monotone!

The story was heartwarming, earth shattering, a roller coaster of emotions and with Paula's narration, you felt like you were right there in the midst of it!!

Best Narrated Book EVER!

Can't get enough...
