Some bonds are steeped in time—and tested by truth.
For twenty-six years, Lula, Midge, and Georgia have met every Tuesday on Georgia’s front porch, sipping sweet tea and sharing the ups and downs of life. Their bond is as steady as the tides—until the day Georgia makes a confession that sends shockwaves through their decades-long friendship.
Lula Horne isn’t one to embrace change. She prefers perennial gardens over social media, handwritten letters over text messages, and traditions that make sense to her—even if they don’t to anyone else. So when her daughter brings home a girlfriend, Lula’s reaction rocks the porch and everyone on it.
As summer unfolds, secrets unravel and long-simmering tensions come to a head. But when a life-altering diagnosis hits close to home, these women must find their way back to one another before it’s too late.
Sweet Tea Tuesdays is a moving portrait of female friendship, generational divides, and the power of forgiveness—served with a heaping spoonful of Southern charm.
