SATURDAYS AT THE KARMA CAFE
A weight loss program in a Milwaukee suburb brings together three women and their waitress for lunch every Saturday at Zelda's Magical Diner. One day they write down wishes and put the slips of paper in their bras, close to their hearts. A nerdy dotcom owner wants a baby but not a husband. A widowed teacher nearing retirement wants to be as free as the wind while her family wants to tie her down. A seemingly confident businesswoman wants to keep her family from finding out secrets she'd thought safely buried. Their young waitress wants to regain the courage taken from her in an act of violence.
Some wishes come true and some go horribly wrong. For some it's a matter of the heart. For others it's life or death as the four women lose weight, gain friends and fight to make all their heart wishes come true--for themselves and for each other.
BOOBS
Wisecracking hairdresser Jenny Wells has gotten rid of two boobs--one her husband. He discouraged her from doing standup comedy when she was a young wife and mother. Now her son is the emcee for a comedy club and she's dating the owner. After surviving breast cancer, she vowed to live life to the fullest, but her fear of public speaking prevents her from going on stage.
Minister's wife, teacher, mother and breast cancer warrior Alice Justice has a secret only her skinny white friend Jenny knows. She writes erotic e-books. Her heroines get from her heroes the sexual fulfillment she isn't getting from her busy husband. What she doesn't know is he has his own dark secret.
At 31, uptight lawyer Regan d'Elgin is too young to have a lump on her breast. Working her way up the law firm's ladder, she barely has time for a personal life. And now Jenny's lusty 25-year-old son comes into her life and he seems to ... love her. For herself, not her achievements or her perfect looks. Clearly something must be wrong with him.
