Once, twice, ten times a bridesmaid! I, Dana Rose, do solemnly swear to say I wont the next time someone asks me to be in their wedding party. My weak will has gained me a closet full of unflattering bridesmaids dresses in various sizes to accommodate my ever-fluctuating waistline. As if that isnt enough, the past is paying me a most unwelcome visit (my prodigal brother, my back-stabbing sis). Then theres Mr. Practically Perfect, the ex who not only married someone else, but opened the business of our dreams -- right across from my new shop! Its no wonder Ive got problems! Im thankful Ive got my friends, the Sassy Sisterhood, to rely on . . . The Sassy Sisterhood: They get by with a little help from their friends.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
  1. As the book opens, Dana has mixed feelings about her best friends wedding. When her instincts turn out to be correct, she prays for Tracey and tries to help her sort out her feelings but realizes she wants her own marriage to be different. Have you ever known ahead of time that a relationship might not be the best idea for you or for a friend? Did you go through with it anyway? What happened?
  2. Dana, Tracey and Rochelle are some of the last members of the Sassy Sistahood e-mail list. If you had a chance to join a group like this, would you? If so, which of the three friends would you probably be closest to? Whom did you identity with most?
  3. Danas sister has done some hurtful things to her, but now Dahlias trying to live for Christ. Would you struggle with having someone like her back in your life or would you freely forgive Dahlia, knowing that God will transform her as she grows as a Christian? Did Dana do well in how she handled this situation? If not, what could she have done better?
  4. Austin, the local news reporter who visits Danas shop, becomes a new and unexpected friend. Though the two women seem to have little in common at first, as they spend more time together, they realize they have much to share. Have you ever made an instant friend like Austin? Are you still friends with that person today?
  5. Dana spends a lot of time thinking about the past with Adrian and struggles at first to consider a future with him. Though her memory of him stealing her business idea turns out to be false, something much worse turns out to be true. Have you ever reached a turning point when you had to let go of the past to grab on to the future? What did you decide? Do you think that Dana made the right decision with Adrian?
  6. Danas relationships with her father and brother start out rocky at best. Yet, in the end, Jordan and her dad are there for her and support her. Have you ever had to rethink your feelings on someone in our family? Has someone you know made a great turn around in their life? Did you find their new life hard to accept?
