Women's Fiction | Humor

A hilarious, touching story about love…at any age.

Ruthie Deschutes O’Hara is 70 years old. Her huge family, eccentric and rebellious, owns a popular tequila business in central Oregon, which they run off “the homestead."

A retired English teacher who loves books, Ruthie has been widowed for five years. Her beloved late husband and she used to watch a reality TV dating show called Marry Me, along with their dignified old dogs, curious cats, snorting pig, and scary rabbit who sometimes screams.

The “grooms” on Marry Me had the intellectual capabilities of grunting cavemen, according to Ruthie, as they dated the “brides,” and yet, the show was oddly entertaining.

But Ruthie has a big problem that needs to be solved in a creative way. She decides to do something daring. Something out of character. Something…outrageous.

She will become a contestant on a new Marry Me for seniors! She’ll compete for a groom, along with two dozen other “mature” brides.

She has no interest in the groom, that would be ridiculous. She’s not looking to fall in love again, that would be silly. Good heavens, she’s certainly not looking to wed the man, but if she was chosen for Marry Me, she could probably solve her perplexing problem. All would then be well again...

Ruthie Deschutes O’Hara has ulterior motives.

She is not going on Marry Me for the right reasons.

She is not prepared for what happens next.
