    <body><![CDATA[A delightful chick lit. The characters of the four women are very real and it's amazing how their shared passion brought them together to become firm friends. They bond over personal crises and each of them actually go through a life-altering event in the course of the book.

Lorna Rafferty is up to her eyeballs in debt and can't stop her addiction to Ebay. Sandra Vanderslice, battling agoraphobia, pays her shoe bills by working as a phone sex operator. And Jocelyn Bowen is a nanny for the family from hell (who barely knows a sole from a heel but who will do anything to get out of the house). <br/> <br/>On Tuesday nights, these women meet to trade shoes, and, in the process, form friendships that will help them each triumph over their problems&#8212;from secret pasts to blackmail, bankrupcy, and dating.  Funny, emotional, and powerful, <em>Shoe Addicts Anonymous</em> is the perfect read for any woman who has ever struggled to find the perfect fit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>
