Abstract:
BEST FRIENDS–The Opposite Journeys of Maggie and Janey introduces readers to these two best friends who are looking for a happier future. At fifteen years old their path is already set, as Maggie runs away from home and Janey discloses she wants to be a nun. Maggie’s naiveté leads her into prostitution, thievery, near addiction and struggles with her own emotions. Janey’s assignment to a mission brings her disillusionment, temptations, weaknesses, inner conflicts and a heartbreaking decision that follows her throughout life.

After years of struggle and soul searching, their paths cross again and an uncanny co-incidence and startling revelation brings them into a deep and happy friendship that lasts a lifetime.

  BEST FRIENDS , 12/06/2005
Reviewer: Muriel
A tear jerker, that’s what BEST FRIENDS is. Not mushy, not emotional, but a view of REAL life as each of us experiences it daily. Best Friends share school fun times and pain. Best Friends cherish their respective goals. Best Friends go their separate ways. Best Friends discover love and heartache. Best Friends fulfill their dreams. Best Friends meet again. Best Friends share again. From their hometown in Rhode Island, to Boston, to Texas and back to Boston, the friendship of Maggie & Janey survives the years of silence. Each has “created” a life, each has nourished life. Now they really understand one another. Now they are truly BEST FRIENDS forever.

Reviewer: Carol
Connie's book has all the elements of a good movie in the making! Friendship, alcoholism, dysfunctional families, tenement house living, prostitution, murder, welfare, adoption and love are some of the dynamics you will witness. The book is a tear jerker and very real.
