A time to think about lives lived, choices made.

A time for friends...

Every week, four women have an unmissable appointment in their calendars: they meet for breakfast.

Elizabeth is a successful professional. A widow, she's determined not to waste another second of her life. And maybe that includes romantic possibilities...

Karen is in her twenties, and she believes these should be the years for taking risks. She's working on her dream of being an actor, despite her mother's severe disapproval.

Julia is turning forty this year. Her husband's career is established, her kids are finally teenagers and she's just started her own business. Everything's going according to plan--until she discovers she's pregnant.

Over a meal and coffee, the friends talk, tell their stories, and offer each other encouragement and unfailing support. They share the truths they've discovered about their lives.
