Life is good for Tru Newman. She's got beautiful teenaged
twin daughters, great friends and a devoted husband with an
excellent job that affords her a comfortable lifestyle. That
is, until the economy takes a dive and she finds that her
family's one income has suddenly been lost.
Tru knows there's only one thing to do and that's go out
there and get a job to help support her family during their
hour of need! So, Tru does what any woman who has been out
of the workplace for a number of years would do; she grabs
her newly unemployed best friend and together they go into
business for themselves.
And so gets unveiled the Veronica Agency, a call girl
service that caters to the men who love cougars. They offer
a wide variety of lovely and interesting over-40 women to
appeal to a high brow clientele with assurances of utmost
levels of confidentiality.
THE BEST LAID PLANS is a wonderfully quirky story about a
very likable woman who finds her voice and her long buried
confidence amongst the rubble of what could have proved to
be a terribly unfortunate situation. Lynn Schnurnberger
writes in such a way that is an absolute delight to read.
Her storytelling is heart warming and at times, laugh out
loud funny. When I first learned of the subject matter I
thought it was going to be a slippery slope for the author
to manage without coming across as distasteful or
ridiculous, but Lynn Schnurnberger was able to spin the tale
in such a way that was just perfect and I found myself
gleefully devouring the book in just a few sittings.
Tru Newman is one of the Upper East Side "M&Ms" - stay at
home moms who are into personal Maintenance and Mothering.
Tru loves looking after her investment banker husband,
Peter, and their twin teen daughters. But her perfect world
spins off its axis the night Tru discovers that Peter's been
out of work for three months.
Even worse, the family's been living on a house of cards -
specifically, Visa and Amex - that's about to collapse.
Suze Orman tell Tru to "Get a Job!" But doing what? When
Tru's best friend, Sienna Post, loses her position as an
anchor on the local nightly news, the two hatch a profitable
if illegal plan:
They'll open an escort service featuring over-forty "working
girls" who cater to a roster of thirty-year-old clients. The
cougar call-girl agency is a hit! But as Tru's business -
and confidence - grows, her problems are just beginning.
