The shoe diaries
(Book)

Compelled by one of her best friend's recent stay at the hospital, Reagan "Rae" Doucet decides it is time for some changes in her life. Prompted by her circle of girlfriends and incentivized by her lifelong love affair with shoes, Rae comes up with a risk list to force herself to take more chances both at work and in her love life. While demanding more from her job as a Washington, DC, political journalist presents its own challenges, Rae also decides it is time to finally put her old college boyfriend, Jake Saunders, in the rearview mirror. With the launch of her aptly titled Friendship Chronicles series, debut author Baham deftly channels her own Sex and the City vibe to craft an emotionally engaging story featuring a superbly rendered protagonist whose realistically complicated and relatable messy life will long resonate with anyone trying to make positive changes for themselves at work or at home.
