Renay Jordan is the mother of four incorrigible children. Along with her best friend, Melanie, they've attempted to raise their nine children the best way they know how: lots of love, trial and error, and the occasional wild party when they momentarily gave up.They've celebrated each other's birthdays and survived the birthday parties they've thrown for their kids. They've weathered divorces and now, grandchildren, who they plan to tell all about their parent's errant behavior the first chance they get. They've survived hometown rumors (Mel is not an alcoholic and Renay did not have an affair with a teenager - even though she thought about it), old boyfriends, pregnancy tests (once in a drugstore bathroom) and every now and then a little illicit behavior they will never admit, much less reveal.Renay and Melanie have fought, made up and made out (no, just kidding on the last one) although they have considered getting rid of their men and buying a llama farm. (Llamas are mild-mannered, clean, intelligent and less likely to cause heartache.)THE PAGES IN BETWEEN SERIES began a journey for them that exposed their irresponsibility in life and discredited them as parents which initially embarrassed everyone but has become a bond that ties them all together even tighter.Their motto: Family always comes first. Screw everyone else.
