Plot Outline: This is the story of the close-knit relationships between six ordinary Southern women, living in a small town in New Orleans. The action alternates between humorous, small, everyday events and good-natured quips, on the one hand…and on the other, the seriousness and heartache attendant to life’s unexpected crises. Through the laughs and tears, the six women learn to endure hard times, and thus emerge from their struggles with grace and dignity.
