Meet Faye, Marilyn, Alice, and Shirley. Four women with
skills, smarts, and secrets–all feeling over the hill and
out of the race. But in a moment of delicious serendipity,
they meet and realize they share more than raging hormones
and lost dreams. 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 . . . and themselves.
Faye, the artist. A determinedly cheerful widow and
connoisseur of control-top pantyhose, she’s struggling
with creative block and an empty, lonely house. 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. Though her yoga-slender body belie
her years, decades of dating losers and the strain of
being broke make her feel her age. Shirley has a secret
dream: a wellness spa that nurtures body and soul. But
first she needs to believe in herself, in her abilities,
and in her friends at the club.
Marilyn, the brain. A paleontologist who has spent so many
years looking at dried-up fossils, she’s almost become one
herself. Worried that her brilliant but nerdy son is about
to marry the very wrong woman, she gets some helpfrom the
HFC, who transform her from a caterpillar to a butterfly,
with amazing results.
Alice, the executive. Black and regal, she soared to the
top of the corporate ladder. Now her shoes are murder on
her arthritic back and the younger jackals are circling in
for the kill. But as the inspiration behind the HFC, she’s
about to discover something extraordinary: contentment.
For Faye, Shirley, Marilyn, and Alice, the time has come
to use it or lose it–be it their bodies, their brains,
their spirits, and their sense of fun. Together they
realize that they can have it all, perhaps for the first
time in their lives. And though what sags may never rise
again, feeling sexy has no expiration date– and best of
all, with a little help from her friends, a woman can
always start over . . . and never, ever, give up what
matters most.
