Title: The crone's list
Description: Marie and Joan have known each other since they were sixteen. They&#x2019;ve supported each other through the rigors of dating, marriage, and parenting. Now a pair of self-described “wise and helpful old crones,” they&#x2019;re on a mission&#x2014;to save Marie&#x2019;s granddaughter Samantha from herself. Samantha&#x2019;s on her way to college, but she doesn&#x2019;t plan on staying long. As soon as she finds “Mr. Right,” she&#x2019;s going to get married and drop out. The crones can&#x2019;t believe a modern young woman would have such ideas. With age comes wisdom&#x2014;and the awareness of when to take a gentle approach to a problem. Care packages from Samantha&#x2019;s grandmother and godmother begin showing up unannounced, along with letters filled with stories and advice. Marie and Joan find themselves a hit at the dorm. Their letters transform into a Google Hangout with Samantha and her friends, where two wise and helpful women can share their knowledge with a new generation.
