Not your typical snobs or real housewives, these ladies are down-to-earth, relatable women who know how to have a great time even when confronting life's challenges.

Vikki is a twice-divorced magazine publisher contemplating a third trip down the aisle with her younger, multi-millionaire boyfriend. Krissy is a high-powered attorney with humble Harlem beginnings who has a penchant for downward spiraling men. Lauren, the nature loving trust-fund heiress, has to work for the first time because of her film producer husband's drug addictions. And, Rebecca is the "house" wife of a business tycoon caught in an affair with a star ballet dancer. The other main character of the novel is New York City, which the narrator romanticizes as "the true love of his life." Ladies Who Lunch & Love is a novelization of Nathan's popular Essence magazine love and relationship advice column, "The Girl's Best Friend." It is heartwarming, complex, and full of relatable, but well-crafted characters who live extraordinary lives. Yet, every woman (and man) can identify with their stories and struggles.
