After her husband divorces her, all Ellie Johnston wants to do is sit and cry. And perhaps eat an entire cake. However, she's a queen. At least, that's what her neighbors say. By moving into in the house that bears the mark of the Queen of Hearts, Ellie's become one of the Queens of Woodlawn Avenue, a bridge group that's actually much more than that.

Ellie learns how to take care of her life throughout the bridge classes. She begins by starting a new business to take care of everyday things for her clients. This means going to the grocery store, being a hostess for parties and cooking meals for them. It also helps that one of her clients is a Frenchman who's good-looking and kind. He just might help Ellie get over her husband. However, it turns out that Ellie's husband is having trouble getting over her.

This book is full of life and love. It's about being strong when you fall down and about taking chances. Ellie and her friends are just the kind of people I'd love to know and have as friends. A surprising book for women of all ages. I can't wait to see what this author has next for the Red Hat Club.
