The Same Sweet Girls » (Reprint)

Alabama native Cassandra King may be the wife of fellow southern scribe Pat Conroy, but she is an acclaimed author in her own right, with novels like The Sunday Wife and The Same Sweet Girls earning accolades from fellow bestselling belles Sue Monk Kidd and Anne Rivers Siddons.

Join a circle of friends that will never be broken — Cassandra King's celebrated national bestseller, The Same Sweet Girls, is now in paperback

None of the Same Sweet Girls are really girls anymore, and none of them have actually ever been that sweet. But the story of this spirited group of six southern women, who have been holding biannual reunions ever since they were together in college, is nothing short of compelling.

On an island every summer and in the mountains every fall, the Same Sweet Girls come together to share their stories. When one of the group faces the most difficult challenge of her life, the novel builds to an almost unbearably powerful conclusion, one of the most memorable in current fiction. Without a touch of sentimentality, Cassandra King writes of the way close friends can help each other through even the most cataclysmic life events. Both heartbreaking and hilarious, The Same Sweet Girls will touch, move, and inspire readers to cherish their own lifelong friendships.

Perfect for reading groups, The Same Sweet Girls is a story of friendship that readers will want to share with their special girlfriends.

Cassandra King is the bestselling author of The Sunday Wife and Making Waves. A resident of the low country of South Carolina, she belongs to a real-life Same Sweet Girls group, which has reunited every year since college.
