Heave (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781504391191)

Eight mature women purchase a run-down 1950s motel in the desolate Southern California desert. All are now single, and all have colorful pasts. All would rather take a bullet in the Botox before succumbing to assisted living.

When the motel was prospering, it was named Heaven. When the new Interstate was built, the motel fell into disrepair, and the "n" in the neon sign went dark. The ladies--ranging in age from mid-50 to mid-80--rename the motel HEAVE, initiate major renovations, and move in.

Heave is a story about these hilarious women, their relationships with each other, their families, lovers, and pets. It is a story that celebrates women who create their own experience and revel in the joy of good food, good fun, good sex, and good friends.
