Pickleball, Friends, and Wine... Because Therapy Is Too Expensive! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798224267361)

This is an emotionally compelling, snarky, quick read 194 page novella written by, for and about "women of a certain age."

Ellen, self-diagnoses as a pissed off, menopausal crazy lady when her husband, Dumbass, leaves her for another woman taking with him half the equity in Ellen's home and business. Bordering on a nervous breakdown, Ellen seeks guidance from therapist LIbby who helps Ellen work through feelings of anger and betrayal, as well as the fear of having to start a new life at 52.

Being newly homeless, Ellen rents a room from college "friend" Roxie. Ellen quickly discovers that Roxie is a boozing, thieving, narcissist who mistreats her golden retriever pup, Benny. Resisting the urge to throw her car into reverse, roll over Roxie, and screech away, Ellen stays to protect Benny.

While living in Roxie's affluent neighborhood, Ellen becomes fast friends with Claire and Annie. With their help Ellen intigrates back into the world, discovers a passion for pickleball, and devises a plan to win custody of Benny!

Will pickleball, zany new friends, therapy, and lots of wine help Ellen leave her doormat existence behind, save sweet Benny, and find more than just a game on the pickleball court?

ALL women of a certain age will enjoy this empowering book. (Not just pickleball players.) This book makes a great gift and book club read. Enjoy!
