Doria has the life we read about in the gossip rags. Dressed to impress, hair always in place, a home to die for... or maybe not so much. Doria's home, along with her husband, has gone up in flames and she is the prime suspect in the arson. Alone, hiding from the police and penniless, Doria is finding out life isn't always a bed of roses, or in her case a bed in the cosmetic surgical suite of the local hospital. No things aren't looking good for Doria, but underneath it all she may be made of stuff we don't expect in the uber rich, the will to survive, florish and prosper no matter what the circumstances.Camilla is also alone and on the run. But in her case it is from romance gone bad and life turned sour. As she works to start her new life in a local bookstore along the warm coast she finds herself living a life far from the romance and bustle of the city. As Camilla attempts to adapt to her new world, she begins to believe she may, once again, have a life with an interesting man in it. But then again, men who are interesting tend to have complex backgrounds and she may have found one with a background that is less impressive than she had hoped.Silas and Planatagent, erstwhile bookstore owners, former actors of fame and fortune, a quirky homeless man hiding his own past and the rich and fabulous all ready to Co mingle on the pages of this witty laugh-out-loud novel that reads like a sitcom gone right. Very funny and easy to read I couldn't put it down until I had read every last word.Karen Bryant Doering,Parents' Little Black BookMistBlueEeyore@gmail.com
