( ) Maxine Simmons is trying to climb the ladder of high society in Palm Springs. However, she didn't count on her husband's affair and request for a divorce. When she is banned from Palm Springs to AZ, she finds new friends, and ultimately a family, in a local bartender and a young boy and his baby sister. The antics of Maxine and this group of unlikely friends is at times laugh out loud funny, and other times, sweet and endearing. I rooted for Maxine as she came up with a plan to reclaim her status, although she went about it in sneaky and underhanded ways. She is an unlikely heroine, but such a wonderful one! The year is 1969. Maxine Hortence Simmons is a wealthy, Palm Spring socialite, seeking to climb the next step on the social ladder. A divorce throws her completely off the ladder, and she wants back in. Thus begins her quest for the Mrs. American Pie contest. Parts of this book are funny, and parts are just slow. The book ends as you might expect - or at least how I expect from the very beginning.

"The year is 1969. Dick Nixon was just sworn in as the thirty-seventh President of the United States. Neil Armstrong just took one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind. And notable Palm Springs socialite Maxine Simmons just found out that her husband is leaving her for his twenty-two-year-old secretary. After a public meltdown at Thanksgiving, Maxine finds herself not only divorced but exiled to Scottsdale, Arizona. However, these desert boondocks will not be her end--only her Elba. The former beauty queen sets her eyes on a new crown: that of the Mrs. American Pie pageant, awarded to the nation's best wife and mother. Maxine only has one problem: to win the crown she'll need to find--or build--a family of her own."--provided by publisher. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
