Elinor, her twin sister CJ, Poppy and Alice are four
friends who have grown up together, and know each other's
deepest, darkest secrets. Or at least they thought they did.
When Elinor gathers her friends, plus her hairdresser
Yvonne, together for an intimate chat, the others never
would have guessed the bombshell that Elinor was about to
drop on them. She was being blackmailed over her affair
with a major political figure. After recovering from the
shock, the friends band together to try and find out who is
doing the blackmailing, and how they got the information to
hold over Elinor's head.
As Elinor attempts to stay calm and continue preparing for
her son's big-event wedding, her sister and friends set out
to do a little sleuthing of their own. They never dreamed
that they would be uncovering a myriad of secrets that
should have been left well enough alone.
CJ reflects on her secret of bearing her sister's child,
and falling in love with her sister's husband in the
process. Poppy finds out that her adoring husband isn't all
that adoring, and she longs to find happiness of her own.
And Alice is busy playing cat and mouse with gentlemen all
over the country while escorting her granddaughter to
talent show contests. Each one of them with a secret that
could destroy friendships and relationships -- and Elinor
thought she had problems!
In her novel, PERFECT LITTLE LADIES, author Abby Drake
takes her readers on an inside journey into the lives of
the wealthy and entitled -- where maybe privilege isn't all
it's cracked up to be when the chips are down. I found this
story to be so fascinating, I stayed up all night reading
it. PERFECT LITTLE LADIES is a mature, hen-lit tale that
leaves readers with a distinct impression of being treated
to a very smart and well-written book.
Nobody knows that better than Elinor Young, one of the
posh housewives of Westchester County. She's worked hard
all her life to get where she is. With her perfect
husband, gorgeous grown-up children, and a house with more
rooms than she can count, Elinor has it all—including her
own personal blackmailer. Somehow, someone has figured out
that she hasn't been spending her afternoons in Manhattan
with ladies who lunch but with a major married politician,
and now she's got to shell out a whole lot of money or the
truth about her life will be exposed. If her family learns
everything it would be embarrassing—besides she never set
out to hurt them—but if the town finds out she's really
screwed!
So she gathers her friends around her, spills the beans to
them, and decides to do whatever it takes to prevent
scandal. But when Elinor and friends set out to track down
the extortionist, none of them expected other secrets to
be told.
