These are the confessions of the Bitch
Posse. Cherry, Rennie, and Amy were outcasts, rebels, and
dreamers. And their friendship was so all-encompassing that
some would call it dangerous. This is the story of three women-as
seniors in high school and as women in their mid-thirties---who
formed a bond in order to survive the pitfalls and perils
of their lives. In the present day, one of them is a wife
and mother-to-be, trying to live a "normal" life. One of them
is a writer who engages in a number of self-destructive relationships.
And one of them is in a mental hospital---and has been ever
since that one fateful night fifteen years ago, when a heart-wrenching
betrayal and the unraveling of relationships led them to a
point of no return, where their actions triggered unimaginable
consequences. These secrets have torn them apart while inextricably
binding them to one another. What happened to them? And can
they survive their shared history, even today?
The Bitch Posse is an anthem for friendships that
defy society's approval or disapproval. It's a novel of secrets,
courage, sacrifice, and hope against the odds. It is both
a journey back to being a girl on the verge of adulthood,
and a journey forward, showing how the events of our past
can unearth the best in us today.
