They contemplate the depths of faith long enjoyed and the strength from struggles faced and endured. They delight in the humor of recognizing that what once seemed so important now appears trivial. They give thanks for the confidence gained from skills long practiced. And they laugh with the zaniness of being freed from the inhibitions of youth. The four differ greatly in experiences and personality, yet they share the common bond of friendship built on faith.

Young women will laugh and ponder as they read. Women in their middle years will chuckle while wiping their misty eyes as they recognize the peaks and crevices of their own lives on the page. And women who are "now old enough to know better" will nod knowingly and roar wholeheartedly at the freeing perspective that comes with experience. But all women, of all ages, will find their vision cleared, their hearts enlarged, their minds stretched, and their will molded by the dear Savior who has held their hands on the surprising journey through life.
