Synopsis

Georgia, SuSu, Teeny, Linda, and Diane have been friends for more than thirty years. But when Pru Bonner, black sheep of the group, falls off the wagon so hard it shakes their world, "the girls" stage a hilarious kidnapping in Vegas to help their childhood friend clean up her act. As the women confront their pasts along with their hazardous adventure, they discover surprising strength in themselves and their friendships. Laughter is spiced with secrets, surprises, and pitfalls aplenty, including a midlife pregnancy test, the perils of Internet dating, an all-expense-paid plastic surgery cruise, and a surprise celebration that proves it's never too late for love. As in "The Red Hat Club", these irrepressible heroines face the challenges of friendship in sickness and in health, with heart and indomitable humour. So join the Red Hats and remember that age is all in your head, calories should always be in chewable form (Diet Coke with chocolate eclairs!), and that when all else fails, your Red Hats will see you through.
