Publisher's Summary
A piece of meat; born to breed; past its sell-by-date; one of the herd.
Three women. A whole world of judgement.
Tara, Cam and Stella are very different women. Yet in a society that sets the agenda, there’s something about being a woman that ties invisible bonds between us.
When one extraordinary event rockets Tara to online infamy, their three worlds collide in ways they could never imagine – and they discover that one woman’s catastrophe might just be another’s inspiration.
Through friendship and conflict, difference and likeness, they’ll learn to find their own voices.
Because sometimes it’s OK not to follow the herd.

Great book
I loved this book - it’s great to see women portrayed in this way. Rising above bad situations and not letting silly decisions define who they are. Thanks Dawn O’Porter, I’ll be sure to listen/read more of your stories :)
