Four women. Each is given the opportunity to avenge a wrong. A wealthy
philanthropist and her computer whiz husband are funding/aiding the women.
The women draw straws to see who gets to go first. The first book is about
the first woman's quest for revenge. (Implication that there will be three
more books) The woman she remembered most was a truck driver. There was an
accident. It was not her fault, but the insurance company wouldn't pay.
Her husband was either in a wheelchair at the time of the accident, or as a
result of the accident. Another of the women is perhaps seeking vengeance
on a jury.
So far we've had no luck in Novelist or on Amazon.
Ring any bells? My patron is sure I gave her this book, but I don't
remember it at all. :)

As Nikki and her best friend, Barbara, are walking, a car
comes out of nowhere and kills
Barbara and her unborn child. Unfortunately, the driver, a
Chinese diplomat, isn't subject to
prosecution. Barbara's mother, the fabulously wealthy Myra
Rutledge, who also raised Nikki,
goes into a two-year depression, only snapping out of it
when she sees television coverage of the
mother of another murdered child taking the law into her
own hands. Barbara and Myra recruit
five female vigilantes, all victims of a legal system
that, in their experiences, favored the criminal.
The group's mission: to right the wrongs perpetrated
against them and other women. The first
woman to be vindicated is the one who was raped by three
white-collar bikers while her disabled
husband was forced to watch. Mission Impossible meets
Lorena Bobbitt in prolific Michaels'
latest, the first of the Sisterhood series. Readers who
grow weary of seeing the bad guys get
away with their crimes will enjoy seeing what happens when
well-funded, very angry women take
the law into their own hands.
