Originally found it on a list of books as a little women replacement, never having read little women I didn't know what to expect really. But this is compilation of the stories of the women of Brewster place, a dilapidated old street where dreams stagnate, and yet everyone is still just trying to get by. Each section is a different character but they blend together well and honestly they just remind me of the women I grew up with. A sad, yet warm and familiar story of women trying to make lemonade out of lemons.
