From New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe comes a powerful novel about the hopes, dreams, laughter-and limits-of six unique women surviving on the streets of San Francisco . . .
They're about as different as six women can be-haughty and humble, beautiful and plain, young and not-so-young, black, white, Latina, and origins unknown. But aside from a gift 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 you might say that Lula Mae, Ester, Megan, Rosalee, Helen, and Rockelle are colleagues-in the world's oldest profession. Clyde likes to refer to them as his "wives."
Maybe it's their love for the high life-and for each other-that makes the bond between Clyde's ladies so unbreakable. Maybe it's their private demons that keep them so loyal to Clyde-or so he thinks. For hard as they try to distract themselves, nothing can quell the women's longing for a life free from Clyde and what he represents-until one daring act of defiance changes everything . . .
Praise for Mary Monroe
