THREE women striving to make "a perfect life" for themselves and working towards their goals.

Each one then comes up against an obstacle. For Calypso (the married one of the three) the obstacle comes in the guise of a man she cannot resist.

Dannie, having been let down by a previous partner, meets a new man but is he what he seems? Rose, an un-married mum, finds herself getting more and more lonely and despairing.

How they work through their troubles and get back on track to make "a perfect life" is an absorbing read.
