Waiting to Exhale is a story about four black women who are good friends: Savannah, Robin, Bernadine, and Gloria. The four women get together frequently to provide support, and to listen to each other vent about life and love. They all want to be in a relationship but they all have difficulties finding a good man.
Savannah “‘Vannah” Jackson is a successful television producer who believes that one day her married lover will leave his wife for her. She later realizes he will never leave his wife, and that she must find her own man who will love her for who she really is.
Bernadine “Bernie” Harris had abandoned her own career dream of having a catering business-instead she raised a family and supported her husband, who then announces he is leaving her for a white woman he works with.
