Girlfriends Secrets A Novel by Charmaine Galloway

Meet Tyra, Alisha, and Brittany. These young women have been good friends since high school. Like most close friends, they have shared secrets and had ups and downs with one another. They’ve also managed to maintain and solidify healthy, trusting friendships with each other through the years…or so it seemed. More recently, there has been a change in atmosphere amongst them. Suspicion? Betrayal? Dishonesty? Their friendship is about to be put to the test with the secrets they hold.
Tyra Bell is a single mother who has seen hardships and trials. She’s led a tumultuously torrid lifestyle before the birth of her son. Good decisions and sound judgment were not within her character before he was born. Since becoming a mom, Tyra made the decision to become a devout Christian. She realizes that her son deserves a family and is preparing herself and waiting on God to send her life-mate. While becoming accustomed to her walk as a Christian, Tyra’s faith is shaken to its core when she receives a phone call. Her party past and bad decisions could cost her the most valuable things she has…her son.

Brittany Parker is the epitome of a “KEPT” woman. This self-centered house wife of a successful medical doctor lives her life under the premise that life (hers at least) is too perfect to have a care in the world. But major marital problems arise when her husband becomes a workaholic. How else can he afford this woman and her lavish lifestyle? He always was big on the idea: work hard, PLAY hard. She must’ve been too busy spending his money to notice….

Alisha Wright is a dedicated mother of two children. Dedicated to raising her family, she unselfishly sacrifices her own joys and desires to efficiently meet her responsibilities as a mom. Alisha’s children are not the only people who enjoy the fruit of her toil and selflessness. She would go to any measure to stay in a relationship with her son’s father and he knows it. Will his manipulation and deception lead her to abandon her priorities? Alisha needs her friends for support but insists on baring this heartache on her own.

As the lives of these friends unfold they each have opportunities to reflect. It is then secrets and truths are revealed. Will the secrets ruin their lifelong friendships?
