Synopsis

Back cover: "We've all heard the popular idioms--'you never know what goes on behind closed doors', 'it's a small world', and 'don't judge a person until you've walked in his shoes'. No group of women embodies those concepts more colorfully than the dream team assembled by tennis pro, Jake Lenaghan. During the sultry southern summer of 2014, this band of strangers experience far more drama off the court than on it. Their diverse personalities intermingle in a combustible fashion exposing some shocking secrets of these dysfunctional but lovable souls. With Alex's candid humor and snake handling skills, Molly Katherine's unyielding southern piety and prejudice, Callie's maddening mating rituals with Jake, Mary Claire's Stepford-like perfection, Katlin's obsession with her spring-fall romance, and Dallas' mysterious past and painfully awkward social presence--laughter, tears, and a dose of nosiness propel the reader through twists and turns in a tale of love, hope, forgiveness and redemption."
