They've got one another, and now they're going to find the one that got away if it kills them-which it very well might. WOMEN'S NIGHT OUT, the second book in the Life's Second Chances Series, is about the long-lasting friendships among three women forged when, as young mothers, two of them saved the third's life. Fifteen years later, things have changed. All three of them are now single moms with teenage children, and they've all built new careers for themselves. The one constancy is their monthly night out, at which the laughter always overshadows the tears. When Jennifer-unlike her ex-husband and his trophy wife-is struggling to move on after a tragic loss, she, Celia, and Lindsey form a pact to find "the one that got away." During the hilarious and heartbreaking course of the next eight months, their searches take them on adventures both comic and poignant-together with the joy of good friends and a good bottle of wine.
