Circle of Grace by Penelope J. Stokes

I am not sure if I have read this before, and if I did it was just as pleasurable the second time around.  Four women went through college together and promised to stay in touch with a circle journal.  Over the years it went round and round, but Grace was not telling the truth about her life.  A huge shock came to her and she was forced to face some things and wanted them to all get together.  Life never turns out how you expect and it depends on how you face it as to how well you do.  In the end your friends are really important and will be there for you if you open yourself up to them.  It really was a wonderful, touching novel.
