"The author designates her main female characters 'gingersnaps--spicy, and hard, brown and bold--women who refuse to let their cookies crumble when faced with a challenge.' All women have experiences that elicit actions that affect their relationships with each other and the men in their lives. They engage and interact in a world filled with jealousy, ambition, love, and hate, yet each possesses that inner strength to overcome adversity and rebound with style." --Booklist
