DESCRIPTION:
The Beach Babes is set along the Gulf Coast of Florida where three friends approaching their fortieth birthdays plan to meet to catch up and celebrate. Catherine “Cate” Tibbs arranges for them to rent a house at the beach for a long weekend. She hopes it will give them the opportunity to celebrate and re-ignite the friendship that “saved” each of them. Cate, an author trying to finish a book, doesn’t know that Amber Anderson, a model, and Brooke Ridley, the mother of a boy in college and younger twin girls, are as worried about their own futures as she. Cate wonders if she’s fit to be a mother to save her long-term relationship, Brooke knows something is terribly wrong with her marriage but can’t figure out why, and Amber Anderson has just found out she’s pregnant by her married boss. Supporting one another as they struggle with their choices, in this emotional story they prove the value of female friendship at a pivotal time every woman will recognize.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Ms. Keim writes heart-warming novels about women who face unexpected challenges, meet them with strength, and find love and happiness along the way, stories with heart.

If you have friends from childhood that you keep in touch with, read this book and plan a reunion! Great read that I couldn't put down!
“The beauty of this story is the never-ending support they have for one another regardless of their own problems. There are some unexpected twists along the way...some good, some heartbreaking...but the overall story is uplifting and a joy to read.”
“The story has so many elements to it and the pieces for me fit so perfectly together.”
“This story has real life situations, which we all know are not always pretty. They are always there for each other, no matter what is happening. The love between all of these folks is so endearing. Each has their own story going on, but they are all brought together so well.”
