Previously published as The Bag Ladies of Ebondale by Michelle Davis-Newell

What happens when unpacking your emotional baggage reveals more than you bargained for?
On Chicago's South Side, in the fictional close-knit community of Ebondale, four friends join a unique therapy group, where secrets and long-hidden truths rise to the surface, testing the bonds of their sisterhood in ways that could either tear them apart or bring them closer than ever.

Each woman shoulders emotional scars that weigh heavily on her spirit. When a scandal threatens to unravel their fragile peace, will these best friends turn on each other, or will they trust in the healing power of truth?

Follow Josie, Londyn, Mia, and Brianna as they strip away the facades they've hidden behind for years, facing deep wounds and harsh realities on their path to healing, self-awareness, and the unbreakable bond of sisterhood. Their journey of strength and transformation mirrors the challenges many of us face. Are you prepared to embrace the truth?
