Safe Landings, by Peggy Townsend
Kate’s husband is a total jerk. Over the dinner she’s just cooked for him, he announces that he’s noticed she’d gained a few pounds, the sex is stale, and he’s found someone else.
Luckily, Kate has friends she can turn to. They meet regularly to discuss their problems and help each other out. In one scene, they bake cookies, kvetch, and listen to Aretha Franklin—I've just described my ideal date!
Kate and her friends meet and befriend a homeless teenager. Their personal problems fade in the background. But emotional investment in others' rescue comes with a price...
