What if you make being single your life's work? And what if
you are wildly successful at it? Then in between
broadcasting your weekly satellite radio talk show, writing
your latest advice book and launching "Spinster Sisters"
licensed merchandise in major retail outlets, you find
yourself thinking about one particular guy?
Since her divorce, Jodi Spingold has dated three or four
different guys at a time, all while spending time socially
with her trendy and highly regarded spinster aunts and
working closely with her sister, Jill, on all aspects of
their corporation, Spinster Inc. When Jill gets engaged to
a wonderful man, the press jumps on the story and the
sisters' many single fans turn bitter and disgruntled.
The situation escalates when Jodi's ex-husband's horrid new
fiancée begins threatening to plant negative publicity in
the press unless they pay her off. But for all of her many
worries, Jodi is most concerned about Connor, the
intriguing man she met at the grocery store while trying to
buy the last bag of mini-marshmallows for her Thanksgiving
sweet potatoes. She's specifically concerned with whether
he will call, whether he likes her as much as she likes him
and whether she needs to stay single in order to keep the
corporation viable and profitable.
From inside the minds of dating advice experts, Stacey
Ballis creates a network of supportive sisters from
their elderly aunts to their fortunate coworkers and all of
their adoring fans. Practical and pointed advice, excerpted
from Jodi and Jill's advice books, starts each new chapter
to contrast the changes in their lives with the reality of
their business. Ballis addresses the dilemmas of empowered,
independent women who are proud of their single status, but
also looking hopefully toward settling down with someone
special with grace and eloquence. She asks the hard
questions, like what gives our popular relationship experts
their credibility, and can THE SPINSTER SISTERS continue to
expand their woman-centered corporate empire if they loose
their spinster status?
Jodi and Jill Spingold are the Spinster Sisters…
With a two-hour radio show, speaking engagements, a series
of DVDs, and two bestselling books, “Living Twenty-Five”
and “The ‘Thirty’ Commandments”, they’ve built a thriving
cottage industry out of helping other single women find
happiness and empowerment. Their future has never been
brighter. And that’s when Jill turns out the lights—by
announcing her engagement.
Jodi’s in a tailspin. How can they be the Spinster Sisters
if one of them is married? Complicating things is her own
love life, involving three vastly different paramours
offering three different kinds of happiness—none of which
Jodi is sure she wants. And her ex-husband, backed by his
nightmarishly manipulative new girlfriend, may be angling
for a piece of the Spinster Sisters empire.
Now, Jodi must make some tough decisions, keep the business
afloat, and make it to the altar to stand by her sister—
even if means that from now on she’ll be single all by
herself...
