Annie, Sondra and Jo grew up as best friends in a small, midwestern town. Now, in middle age, they have grown apart. They will soon be back together for their reunion. Annie is a pastor's wife. With four sons and constant church duties, Annie's life has quickly become overwhelming. She has lost herself and come to rely on antidepressants until the day she takes one too many and collapses. Sondra is married to a rich, older man in LA. Sondra loves James, but they have not been intimate in a while. Sondra is manipulated by someone who sees her weakness and is blackmailed. Jo is a recovering alcoholic who is contemplating divorce because of her own failings. When Sondra and Jo hear of Annie's troubles, they race back into town and plan to steal her away on an epic camping adventure like they did when they were young. Hoping to invigorate their souls and remind Annie of the good days, the fearsome threesome may solve more than they intended.
Campfire Confessions is a heartwarming story of friendship and overcoming obstacles. Each of the women has a unique, yet timeless story of believing that they are not enough for those around them. Annie is overwhelmed, completely exhausted by her day to day life of giving herself away and becoming a martyr to what she believes her duties are all while her husband and kids continue to expect and ask more of her. I'm surprised she didn't collapse sooner. Sondra is a strong woman who is asking her husband for exactly what she wants and is still able to be manipulated by her own insecurities. Jo is fighting her demons and still believes she is not good enough for her husband. The camping trip was fun, comical and life changing. I loved that they were able to work through some things within the safety and comfort of one another. These women's stories are a reminder that nobody is perfect, everybody needs help sometimes and communication is key in relationships. While none of their problems were fully solved in the end, the women were able to tackle the mental load and embrace their issues in order to begin moving on.
