A paleontologist who has spent so many years looking at dried-up fossils, she's almost become one herself. But first she needs to believe in herself, in her abilities, and in her friends at the club. Shirley has a secret dream: a wellness spa that nurtures body and soul. Though her yoga-slender body belie her years, decades of dating losers and the strain of being broke make her feel her age. Now she's got a tricky problem to bring to the club's table: how can they catch her perfect son-in-law cheating on her only daughter Laura? Shirley, the healer. A determinedly cheerful widow and connoisseur of control-top pantyhose, she's struggling with creative block and an empty, lonely house. Now as the Hot Flash Club, where the topics of motherhood, sex, and men are discussed with double servings of chocolate cake, they vow to help each other. But in a moment of delicious serendipity, they meet and realize they share more than raging hormones and lost dreams. Four women with skills, smarts, and secrets-all feeling over the hill and out of the race. From the bestselling author of Between Husbands and Friends and An Act of Love comes a wise, wonderful, and delightfully witty "coming of age" novel about four intrepid women who discover themselves as they were truly meant to be: passionate, alive, and ready to face the best years of their lives.
