Publication Information
Anita and Bunny have been friends since high school, when Anita was
a beauty queen runner-up and Bunny a sweet single mother of no more
than average prettiness. Fifteen years later, facing a future that
seems increasingly difficult, the friends turn to one another and
find reserves of love and strength that help heal the wounds they
inadvertently inflict upon each other.
