When spirited and privileged Rena Boiles accepts a clerical spot in customer service instead of the management position she applied for, her life takes a big turn. Intriguing co-worker, Clarice McDaniels knocks the sting out of her disappointment about the misleading job posting on the first day. As these two girls, who at first seem to have little in common, get to know each other, they discover that they have more in common than not. And, when they become friends outside of work and meet the other’s family, each sees her own world a little clearer because of what she has learned from the other. Rena’s Silver lining is a short novel about friendships and mother-daughter relationships.
