From AudioFile:

In this proud, poignant tale, four thirty-something African-American women rely on one another for love and support. McMillan's portrait of these friends, who struggle with differing aspects of loneliness, is indelibly etched with love and understanding. Her empathy is vividly realized in her reading of the work. McMillan's passion is infectious. Deft character-ization and a rich, resonant narration sweep the listener along in the beauty and grace of a vision ably articulated in this powerful reading. R.W.B.
