Synopses & Reviews
Take a trip to the charming little town of Heart Lake, and meet three best friends youll never forget. . . .
Rachel, Jessica, and Tiffany have major money problems. Tiffanys whipped out the plastic one too many times, and now a mountain of debt has come crashing down on her. Jessicas husband has lost his job, thrusting this longtime stay-at-home mom out into the cold, cruel workforce. And Rachels divorce transformed her from an upper-middle-class mom to a strapped-for-cash divorcée. So the three women start a financial support group called the Small Change Club—vowing to bring balance back to their checkbooks…and, in turn, their lives. Along the way they learn some valuable lessons—that friendship is an investment that keeps on growing and that sometimes love, like a loose coin, can be found in the most unexpected places…
