Women's Fiction
Charlotte Goodman has had enough surprises. In fact, she reached her life’s quotient when her husband of
five months walked out on her, only to abruptly change his
mind a few weeks later and move back in. Stung by a whiplash
of grief, resentment, and confusion, Charlotte calls a
time-out, taking a small apartment where she can figure out
what she wants. Instead, the thought of making even
the simplest choices triggers an anxiety attack. In order to
get out of bed in the morning, she must concoct a to-do list
for each day, The Plan, one with absolutely no
surprises.
“Without The Plan, horrible things
can happen. I’m likely to end up sitting on a curb beside a
taco truck on Sunset Boulevard, crying over a carne asada
burrito, wondering where my marriage went. I can’t handle
being the Weeping Burrito Girl.” Charlotte knows
all this self-absorbed introspection isn’t good for her, but
she’s running out of people to turn to, as seemingly
everyone in her life is pressuring her to make an immediate
decision about her future. Then her new friend Francesca—an
impulsive, smartass co-worker—offers Charlotte salvation in
the unlikeliest of places: the fast-paced, super-tough,
bump-and-bruise-filled world of roller derby. Sure,
it’s dangerous. Yeah, she could get hurt. But what’s a
little physical pain when healing your soul is at stake? The
question is: whether she’s on or off the track, will
Charlotte be strong enough to stand on her own two feet?
