Teresa βTootsβ Amelia Loudenberry has crammed a great deal
of living β not to mention eight much-loved husbands β into
her varied and rewarding life. Newly single, Toots is ready
to taste life again, and fate has just handed her the
perfect opportunity.
The owner of the gossip rag where Tootsβs daughter works is
about to lose the paper to his gambling debts. Eager to find
a way to keep her daughter employed among the movers and
shakers of Hollywood, Toots calls on her three trusted
friends β Sophie, Mavis, and Ida β to help her pull some
strings. Together, theyβll hatch a plan that promises
thrills, laughter, and more than a hint of danger. Putting
aside her widowβs weeds (black was never her color), Toots
will prove that you should never underestimate a Southern
lady of a certain age, and that each day can be a gift, if
youβre willing to claim itβ¦
