The Junior League of Willow Creek, Texas, is très exclusive. Undesirables need not apply. Fredericka Mercedes Hildebrand Ware (Frede to her friends) is a member beyond reproach...until her life begins to unravel. When her husband betrays her, steals her money, and runs off to places unknown, it's something Frede would prefer to keep under wraps. The last thing she needs is to become fodder for the JLWC gossip mill. And to make matters worse, there's only one person in town who stands a chance at helping her get revenge - Howard Grout, a tasteless, gold-chain-wearing lawyer who has bought his way into Frede's tony neighborhood. But there's a price: She has to get his tacky, four-inch-stiletto-and-pink-spandex-wearing wife, Nikki, into the Junior League.
The crème de la crème of Southern royalty should sit up and take notice, and hang on tight for this irresistible tale of getting in and getting even.
Wealthy, well-bred, and over-the-top Fredericka Mercedes Hildebrand finds life in Willow Creek, Texas, just grand. Her universe revolves around the exclusive Junior League--only women from the best families need apply. Jenna Lamia is a hoot as "Frede" and the tacky Nikki, Frede's childhood friend from the other side of tracks who marries well and moves in next door. When Frede encounters a life crisis, Nikki's connections hook her up with a handsome artist. Lamia turns up the heat and breathes new life into Frede, melting her snootiness into a pool of life's most luscious offerings--that don't cost a thing. B.J.P. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
