βWe didnβt know then that the dramas we imagined werenβt even warm-ups for what real life held for us.β
From the fifth grade to their fifth decade, Vaughn, Reenie, Susan, and Audrey share secrets and dreamsβtheir lives connected like silk threads through rich fabric, pulling but never breaking at lifeβs unexpected twists and turns. Meet the girls most likely
TO WRITE THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL: Vaughn has a flair for words that makes her the unofficial diplomat of the foursome. Sheβs great at keeping it together for everybodyβbut herself.
TO MARRY A PRINCE: Sassy Reenie can break hearts as easily as she can take out a bully without breaking a nail. But her live-for-today attitude leads to a tragic mistake that will haunt the girls for years.
TO BE FAMOUS: From the ashes of a ravaged home life, amid rumors and bad feelings, Susan rises to fame as a glamorous network anchorwoman, proving that success is the best revenge. But forgiveness is another matter.
TO RUN THE WORLD: Audrey is the ultimate overachiever, but this takes a devastating toll on her health, her career, and her family. Perfection is a race where the finish line keeps moving. What will she sacrifice to win?
Girls Most Likely is an emotional, uplifting, often hilarious glimpse into the lives of todayβs ever-changing African American women, sustained by love, laughter, and sisterhood.
