“The beating heart of this show is the deep relationship between these three amazing women and how they sustain and celebrate each other,” showrunner Sheryl Anderson said in an interview.
“We’re always eager to share the moments that make life special with them and through them,” she added, explaining how passionate the writers, cast and crew are about the show and characters.
The series is based on the namesake bestselling novel series by American writer Sherryl Woods, who has written more than 100 romance and mystery titles; A cookbook based on the series was released in 2012.

“Dan Paulson (show executive producer) and I, and some of the writers that I’ve worked with have several other projects that we’re at various stages of looking at, but we’re not exactly speeding along with anything. There is nothing that I can talk about yet. Stay tuned,” Woods said.
