Beschreibung
From a "fresh and fun new voice in women's fiction": a divorcee finds her voice and courage thanks to an account of war and survival out of her family history. Patricia Moore is coming of age. The age is menopause. And she might not survive it. Her growing pains include not only hot flashes but sharp pangs of loneliness. Her daughter is away at college. Her dear Sheltie, Zoomie, still loves her ex-husband, who's got new muscles and a new girlfriend. And then there's the sudden, teenage-hormone levels of lust she feels for her psychotherapist. She's wound up in therapy because of her abusive work situation: her boss is evil, and one of her alternative education students has attacked Patti in the classroom, leaving her almost voiceless. As she faces these savage threats to her health, dignity, career, heart, and sanity, Patti discovers help from an unexpected source: the cassette tapes left behind by her grandfather, a one-armed veteran of WWII. Pappap's account of survival after being shot down behind enemy lines provides an example that may be just what she needs to dig herself from the depths of depression, revive her dormant inner power, and stand up for her principles while staying true to herself-and maybe she'll even find her inner sexy. Both funny and inspiring, perfect for fans of Bridget Jones's Diary and Gilmore Girls, StumpStrong weaves modern and historical struggle and romance, its story unfolding through Patti's diary, her Pappap's tapes, text messages with her daughter, quotes from Rudyard Kipling, and much more.
