A wrong number, and a cry of desperation at the end of the line, sparks a long distance friendship between two women who’ve never met. Through fourteen years of trouble and heartache from a stagnant domestic life, the struggle for civil rights, and the stigma of interracial relationships, a bond forms between the two that changes both of their lives forever.
It’s 1958, a time when women and Negroes are deemed second-class and are being second-guessed, from there arises the perfect storm for change, and the perfect time for an unlikely friendship.
Beatrice “Beanie” Peterson, forced to marry at fifteen and live with two sister wives, six children, and an abusive husband twenty years her senior, is looking for a way out.
Adeline “Liddie” Garrison, friend of Jack Kennedy, wife of a prominent Boston business man, and resident of Beacon Hill has already found her way in.

For this book I picked the actresses Alyssa Milano and Holly Marie Combs as the two women that meet over the phone. I picked Holly as the one who answers and Alyssa as the one who is in desperation. I picked Ayssa for this because she always got herself in trouble in Charmed, and even in Who's the Boss. I picked Holly for the one I did because she always seems the motherly, strong and helpful type. She also seems like the kind of woman that could be married to a prominent business man. I love the way these two actresses work together and also get things done. I would love to see them deal with race issues of the 50's and the domestic issues in this book.
