It was a swift and bumpy ride from the penthouse to the
outhouse for Tracy Deloche. One day she is married to a
wealthy land broker and enjoying daily spas, designer
clothes, jewels, etc. It seems the next day she is
married to a convicted criminal who is now in a federal
penitentiary. She is left with nothing other than a few
waterfront acres in Florida and five tumbledown rental
cottages. Tracy doesn't want to know her tenants; she
just wants their rents so she can buy groceries.
Evidently Herb, the elderly man living in the cottage next
to her, is out of town. He has always been so prompt with
his check, but this month he's late and Tracy has been by
three times knocking on his door.
Wanda Gray is a tenant with an attitude, and she is
determined not to pay Tracy another dime until some repairs

and her husband of thirty-three years is a cop. Right now
their marriage is in jeopardy and only Wanda seems aware of
this.

of a lonely, elderly man who died in his bed three days
before he was discovered. These fantastic women help each
other with the day-to-day struggles of life. This is a
wonderful book that will play upon your emotions and tickle
your funny bone. There is not a better women's
contemporary writer in today's market than Emilie
Richards. She is truly blessed with an awesome talent for
storytelling.
