The jacket cover copy says, "All-American suburban girl fleeces Catholic charity fundraiser, dodges bursting sewage pipes, seduces lesbian sex toy sales clerk, and flees scene of baby massage therpay group for a road much less traveled." Personally, the "road less traveled" part seems a bit subjective since I'm actually a married mom who drives a station wagon. Ah, marketing geniuses at work! Anyway, these are simply stories from my life that I thought were more or less entertaining. Order a copy of Everybody Into the Pool (at amazon.com).
