Women's Fiction Contemporary
Nora Ephron hates her neck, but Mindy Sherman hates her
whole body. A forty-one year old mother of three, she is
still trying to squeeze into jaws-of-life jeans, for in her
Long Island neighborhood, size four is, well, fat. Not
even her husband, Artie, is immune. “Someone called us
Shrek and Fiona,” she cried.
That someone is next door neighbor, Beth Diamond, a tall,
toned *MILF who seeks perfection in everything from her
kids to her carpools, referring to her BlackBerry for
infractions when Mindy disregards either. Lucy and Ethel
they are not, so can they play nice when they both enter
Downtown Greetings’ talent search and realize they have to
compete as a team? Exactly.
In this story of fences and defenses, two women who have
never shared a recipe suddenly must join forces in order
to keep their messy plates spinning. It’s a delicate
balancing act, what with out-of-their mind in-laws, an
errant husband, a troubled step-son, a failing business, an
unplanned pregnancy, a possible relocation and a contest
that might be a corporate hoax.
Their reality check nearly bounces until they uncover a
startling secret. Neither would have been born if not for a
chance encounter of their mother and grandmother on the
Kindertransport, the rescue train that saved thousands of
Jewish children during World War II.
DEAR NEIGHBOR, DROP DEAD is a hilarious, heartfelt romp
through bedrooms, boardrooms and backyards, making unlikely
heroines out of two suburban moms who never imagined
themselves as successful entrepreneurs, let alone as best
friends.
