description: Maxine Dorfman has it all-sagging jowls, chubby elbows, sexual batteries that need repair, and frustrating fantasies about Burt Lancaster and her dentist, Dr. Ronald Kertler. But, there are two things she does not the notorious, hooked Kleinkopf nose that runs in her family, and a faithful husband. Mel, her laid-off CPA husband dumps her for an older woman-a sixty-five-year-old woman. Maxine is left on ground zero in denial, depressed and addicted to macadamia nuts. Hope arrives in the form of Connie Piccini, her best friend who encourages a reluctant Maxine to sign up for Earth Trek, a weeklong fitness adventure in the Catskill Mountains. Three hikes, two hot romances, and one environmental crisis later, transform our heroine from a fearful, depressed victim into a self-empowered woman with passion, power and purpose.
