Three friends met every Tuesday for twenty-six years. And then they stopped.

From the author of the bestselling Sweeney Sisters Series comes a novel of friendship, family and hope....

When new next-door neighbors Georgia, Midge, and Lula first assembled on Georgia’s porch in Charleston for sweet tea, they couldn’t have known their gathering was the beginning of a treasured tradition. For twenty-six years they have met on Tuesdays at four o’clock, watching the seasons change and their children grow up, supporting each other in good times and in bad. With their ambitions as different as their personalities, these best friends anticipate many more years of tea time. And then, one Tuesday, Georgia shares news that brings their long-standing social hour to an abrupt halt. And that’s only the beginning as unraveling secrets threaten to alter their friendship forever.

Excerpt

As the elevator doors closed on her clients, whisking them away to the fourth floor, the doors on the elevator to her right parted to reveal a middle-aged man and a much younger woman locked in a passionate embrace, mouths pressed together and arms groping at one another. As though sensing an audience, the couple separated and stepped out of the elevator. Midge recognized the man as Lang Murdaugh, but the woman was definitely not his wife.

“Lang!” Midge exclaimed and took a step back. “What’re you doing here?” She eyed the woman up and down. Were her enormous breasts and curvy hips the reason he had chosen this mousey-looking creature over a classic beauty like Georgia?

Lang’s tanned face took on a burgundy hue. “I could ask you the same thing.”

Midge felt her anger rise. “I’m working with out-of-town clients who are staying here. Looks to me like you’re here on business as well. Funny business.”

“Huh? Oh, that,” he said, as though getting caught making out with a strange woman in a hotel elevator was no big deal. “You misunderstood. Mrs. Jones’s husband is a patient of mine.” His fingers grazed the woman’s elbow. “He’s in critical condition. I was offering her consolation.”

Midge arched an eyebrow. Jones? How original. “Your consolation gives new meaning to bedside manner. I don’t know many doctors who make house calls to the Embassy Suites on Friday afternoons.” She stepped out of their way. “By all means, don’t let me keep you. I wish your husband a speedy recovery,” she said to the woman, before turning on her heel and hurrying out of the lobby to her car.
