This story had me laughing out loud so much my husband asked what's funny and I just couldn't bring myself to tell him it's a story about a husband who really deserves what's coming to him. Rose & Carl remind me of Pearl & Barry, two characters in the novel I'm currently revising, but I'm not nearly as funny as you and neither are Pearl & Barry. Thanks for the great laughs!

Thank you, Tanya! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Wives seem to like it, husbands not so much. LOL

This is a GREAT story, Leanne. Even though this was my second time to read it, I was rooting for Rose and sitting on the edge of my seat! Such a satisfying outcome!!

It’s amazing how long some of those childhood labels can follow us.
