Pickleball, Friends, and Wine...Because Therapy Is Too Expensive!

This is an emotionally compelling, laugh out loud, snarky 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. On the verge of a nervous breakdown, Ellen resentfully attends therapy with Libby, who helps Ellen work through her feelings of anger and betrayal, and the fear of starting a new life at 52. Newly homeless, Ellen rents a room from college "friend" Roxie, where Ellen quickly discovers that Roxie has become a boozing, thieving, narcissist who mistreats Benny, her adorable golden retriever. Resisting the urge to throw her car into reverse, roll over Roxie, and screech away, Ellen stays to protect Benny. At the local dog park, Ellen becomes fast friends Claire and Annie. With their help, Ellen 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? Pickleball, Friends, and Wine...Because Therapy Is Too Expensive! is NOT limited to pickleball players. The book is funny, insightful, inspirational and makes a great gift or book club read. ALL women of a certain age can relate to and enjoy this book!
