From Booklist
Joyce, Janeen, and Janesse are sisters who grew up in Dallas, transplanted from Newberry, Louisiana. They are beautiful, smart, and harbor secrets that keep them from being as close as they should. Joyce is the oldest and has been desperately trying to get Janeen to share their family past with Janesse. Janeen, the middle child, is entangled in a work situation and a quickly crumbling marriage. Janesse, the youngest, is living well but unscrupulously. Their past and present fears come to the fore when Janeen's husband is caught up in a scandal that the FBI is investigating. The special agent assigned to the investigation is not only interested in solving the case but also in Janeen. The investigation turns the sisters' lives and sisterhood upside down and forces them to deal with their skeletons. Once their indiscretions are revealed, they realize just how much pain keeping those secrets has cost them personally and collectively. The twists and surprises are both plausible and unbelievable, the novel both engrossing and entertaining.

Joyce, the oldest, is struggling with the past-she wants to share with Sissy the horrifying truth about their family history, but Janeen won't hear of it. Janeen is the middle sister, the one who's always been sensible, but now her life is spinning out of control. She's been passed over for a promotion for the second time, her husband has been distant, and a mysteriously sexy man has entered her life.

The combin--ation is explosive, and it only takes one very hot secret agent to set off a whole powder keg of emotions. What's a Woman to Do? is fast-paced but also soulful, dramatic, and true.
