On Friday nights a group of six different and disparate women meet. They range in age from Jules, who is 22 and wants to be a DJ, to Eleanor, who is a retired professional and walks with a stick. And then one of them meets a man and the whole dynamic changes. The bonds that have been so closely forged are tested.

"Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was the author of such classics as War and Peace and Anna Karenina. In mid-life, however, he underwent a deep moral and spiritual crisis that led him back to the gospels in an effort to conform his life to the spirit of Christ. This volume focuses on his "spiritual writings"--Autobiographical reflections on his journey of faith, commentaries on the gospels, and essays, on the essence of Christianity."--Jacket.
