Witty, wise, and hope-filled, Five Fortunes is a large-hearted tale of five vivid and unforgettable women who know where they've been but have no idea where they're going. A lively octogenarian, a private investigator, a mother and daughter with an unresolved past, and a recently widowed politician's wife share little else except a thirst for new dreams, but after a week at the luxurious health spa known as "Fat Chance" their lives will be intertwined in ways they couldn't have imagined. At a place where doctors, lawyers, spoiled housewives, movie stars, and captains of industry are stripped of the social markers that keep them from really seeing one another, unexpected friendships emerge, reminding us of the close links between the rich and the poor, fortune and misfortune, and the magic of chance.

It often seems that those who have the least to give are the most generous with their time and resources. In ?Five Fortunes? we find the opposite. The author introduces us to five women who use their substantial resources (and connections) to help each other and in turn, make a difference in the world. The fast-moving story is sugar-sweet. Not very realistic of life for the majority of us, but it leaves you happy - feeling that it is life as it could be. I?m glad that I read the book but it will not be a favorite. The book needs a little less sugar and bit more meat to be a satisfying read.
