From the backwaters to the sophisticated streets of the city, sisters Bellarene and Serandipity have come a long way. Sera's friends, work, home, and even her children are beautiful and well styled, but she finds herself stretched to the limit as she goes to extreme lengths to maintain the illusion of a flawless life. No wonder she relies on her friends from Stitch 'n' Bitch, a weekly knitting group that seems to produce lots of gossip but few handicrafts. The group is composed of Sera's best friend, the ditzy Mallory; flight attendant Chantrea, who balances full-time work, single parenthood, and plenty of guilt about her child-care choices; single-dad Sam; and the uptight Jacqueline, the cookie-cutter version of 1950s housewife perfection. All Sera wants is to be perfect, but a little secret continues to haunt her past.
