The Flamingo Motel

The Flamingo Motel

When "and they lived happily ever after" falls apart, what's a gal going to do?

Marjorie is in her forties when her husband leaves her and sets up housekeeping with his secretary. Marjorie is overweight, broke, and a slave to her children. When she inherits a motel in California, she sheds her old self as she and her sixteen-year-old daughter drive across the country to a new life.

The Flamingo Motel is a subversive fairy tale for grown-up women. Marjorie blossoms into a woman who is a person in her own right, and is no longer defined by her relationship to a man. She discovers that the word 'duty' takes on a new meaning as she learns to live her life from the perspective of a new set of principles, and she has a good time doing it.

The Great Fairy God-Mother has provided a cradle-gift for a middle-aged woman's rebirthing ~ and perhaps for the advent of a new world. Marjorie is a harbinger of the new women of the new millennium.

J.C.T. (Author of a marriage manual) praises The Flamingo Motel:

"The Flamingo Motel is a whole new world. It is heady stuff, heart-felt stuff, and fun; an enjoyable trip in many ways, down many roads, and down a few garden paths. My publisher won't let me plug a self-published novel (Gee, I wonder why) but I love this lady's sass! I couldn't have done better myself, and when even I can't get copies of my own books, sometimes I wish I had [self-published]."
