Adel Kelly and Lucy Merriweather have been best friends since college. Adel is making a six-figure salary at an oil company and Lucy is a regional manager for a chain of fitness centers. Each woman is struggling with her spiritual, professional, and personal life. Lucy is seeking some adventure from the comfortable and steady relationship with her boyfriend. Her wanderlust causes her to doubt her true feelings and put her relationship in limbo. On the other hand, Adel is married and struggling to deal with her husband's immaturity. She is forced to reexamine her motivators and choose between financial gains and inner peace. Both women find that their lives are like the colored sugar water Lucy drinks every morning, wavering between being bland and routine yet sweet and satiating. Each woman makes a startling choice about what she wants from life and what she needs for spiritual health. Berry has superbly dealt with black spirituality from the organized church and religion to voodoo and fortune telling."> |
