Synopsis Five Southern women, whose friendships began on their college swim team, set
aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from
husbands, kids, and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage, the “Sweet
Delilah” on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh, and meddle in each
other’s lives. The story focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of
thirty-three years beginning twenty-two years after their college graduation. THE
SWEET DELILAH SWIM CLUB is the story of these five unforgettable women—a
hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever.

Characters

Sheree Hollinger, the perennial team captain, is practical, supportive and a fount
of boundless energy. Never without her to-do lists or pocket scheduler, her
tendency to be hyper-organized occasionally drives her friends a bit crazy. She’s
the eternal tomboy, a health nut and an all-American mom who live in Raleigh,
North Carolina with her family.
Dinah Grayson, the wisecracking cynic of the group, has fought her way to the
top and relishes the view. A lawyer in the biggest and most prestigious law firm in
Atlanta, Dinah excels at everything…except romance. Armed with a dry martini
and an even drier sense of humor, Dinah seldom reveals her softer side as she
tackles life head on.
Lexie Richards, from Chapel Hill, North Carolina is the delightfully vain; youth
obsessed event planner for a chain of four-star hotels. She has never shied away
from the occasional nip or tuck and keeps her cosmetic surgeon on speed dial.
Always one to revel in her status as a man-magnet, Lexie can be counted on to
share wild and hilarious tales of her romantic exploits.
Jeri Neal McFeeley, is the ditzy ray of sunshine of the group. She’s perky and
naïve and always see the positive side of everything. Having been a nun for
many years, Jeri Neal has bee protected from life’s seamier side. Even though
she appears to be predictable on the surface, she recently moved to Roanoke,
Virginia and continually makes life choices that surprise and amaze her friends.
Vernadette Simms, is a hard luck case if there ever was one. Marriage and
motherhood came shortly after college, a dark cloud has hovered above her ever
since. A public school teacher with limited finances and a problematic home life
