At a nursing home in North Carolina, four very different women become friends. Margaret and Bernice, residents, are cared for by Lorraine and have their hair done by Rhonda. Their stories and that of Lorraine's daughter, April, are told in alternating chapters.
This is a very sweet story (no pun intended!) of these women and how their lives intersect and depend on one another. Aging and death are treated in a sensitive manner with humor. As the story moves through time, we see how these women change and grow. I liked them all and felt like I was getting reacquainted with old friends.
