"Twyla and Roberta have known each other since they were eight years old, roommates in the St. Bonaventure shelter. After losing touch, they meet several times by accident. Seemingly at opposite ends of every problem, and in disagreement each time they meet, the two cannot deny the deep bond their shared experience has forged between them."--Front jacket flap.
