Fiction. Literature. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:"A delightfully witty and charming novel that makes you believe in fairy godmothers and the magic of love."â??Cassandra King, national bestselling author of Tell Me a Story

In Maggie Barlow's world, reality is overrated. So what if her singing career has hit a sour note or she's no longer the ingénue that she used to be? So what if she drinks and smokes a bit too much or likes to chat with a fairy godperson who appears to her from time to time? She's the queen of denial and an actress to bootâ??she can just take on the role of someone she likes better than her sorry self. Regrettably, that role is currently Dorothy in the Little Britches Theater Company's production of The Wizard of Oz.

Dorothy on the Rocks is the story of a funny, lovable, totally self-destructive woman who, after a night of one-drink-too-many, wakes up with a strange man in her bed: confident, handsome, sexy, twenty-eight-year-old Jack. What happens next is what makes Barbara Suter's coming-of-middle-age tale so much fun. For when the make-believe is finally stripped away, our hurt, lonely, and very afraid heroine finally takes center stage and finds herself starring in a totally improbable love story. It just might be the role of a lifetime.

"This novel has everything: glitter and glamour and too much to drink, love and sex and confusion and fairies, big laugh and big tears, and a very smart dog named Mr. Ed. All this and sticky notes too! I love Barbara Suter's writing. The only bad thing is having to wait for her next book."â??Mark Childress, author of Georgia Botto

Nearly through it-- not too bad, but not great. One of those books that you've invested too much time in(which is odd to say because there's many books out there where you'll give full attention, enjoy most of the read, but hate the ending), but have to see it through. ( )

Actress Maggie is over 40, making ends meet in children's theater, and trying to get her act together in cabaret and life in general. She has her vices - in one hilarious scene she dashes onstage before the kiddies after a break, not realizing she's still holding a cigarette - but remains likable. Very New Yorky. ( )

Chick lit with an older, chubbier heroine, but not that much older. Rather silly. ( )

This is a story about Maggie Barlow. At first, Maggie seems to be a self centered and immature woman heading into middle age drinking too much, smoking to much and having promiscuous sex.

Maggie is an entertainer who makes a living doing voice overs and commercials at times. Most often she pays her bills by participating in a children's theater group. The group is made up of down on their luck actors who seem to have outlived their dreams, but not their pain. But as I continued to read, I realized that they had stories. They were survivors. They had lived through loss and hardship, and lived to tell about it, and their stories are worth hearing.

Maggie herself is recovering from a staggering loss. She has been thrown off the track of her life when she loses her great friend and partner, and is struggling to regain some balance.

She finds love, and recognizes that she has friends, good friends. She even has a fairy god-queen. All of whom ultimately help her begin to grow into her life. ( )
