From New York Times bestselling creator Mary Monroe comes a robust book about the expectations, dreams, laughter--and limits--of six unique women surviving on the pavements of SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. . .
They're about as different as six women can be--haughty and humble, beautiful and ordinary, young and not-so-young, dark-colored, white, Latina, and origins unknown. But aside from a present for laughing hardship in the face, they have one very important thing in common--Clyde Brooks. You might say that Clyde is their "manager." And in ways that Lula Mae, Ester, Megan, Rosalee, Helen, and Rockelle are colleagues--in the world's oldest occupation. Clyde likes to refer to them as his "wives."
Maybe it's their love for the high life--and for every single other--that makes the relationship between Clyde's girls so unbreakable. Maybe it's their private demons that keep them so faithful to Clyde--or so he believes. For hard as they make an effort to distract themselves, nothing at all can quell the women's desiring a life clear of Clyde and what he represents--until one daring take action of defiance changes everything. . .
