Rich Widows of Savannah Valley by Mitzi Perdue
A whimsical, moving tale about Savannah Valley, the country’s most exclusive retirement community for the uber-rich. Set outside Savannah, Georgia, this fictional community is filled with mansions, Rolls Royce Phantoms, and ladies who lunch. Four rich widows — Glenda, Edith, Darcy, and Sharom — are looking forward to their golden years with everything taken care of. Then the amenities they have paid for begin disappearing.
The activities became tiresome, the tee times were always taken, and the late dinners were no longer allowed. All of a sudden, it felt like their wonderful retirement was little more than a cheap motel.
These women knew when they were being handed a load of bull. Loud-out-loud hilarious, these women are not ready to give up anything they worked so hard for. Purchase at https://amzn.to/3De2iWL.
I’ll Remember You by Deborah Packer
I’ll Remember You, based on a true family tale and originally written as a screenplay, is set on the turbulent home-front America of 1943 amidst the anti-Semitism and racism of the time. It’s a love story about a young Jewish couple’s conflicted, hasty war-time courtship and marriage, a relationship plagued with doubt, misunderstanding and childhood trauma which threaten any hope of a future together.
An idealistic, fiercely proud small-town girl falls for a complex, enigmatic soldier from Brooklyn with horrific memories as a child in WW1 Poland. Their romance, told from both perspectives, struggles through the turmoil of their hurried vows up to the moment the soldier leaves on a troop ship for England, convinced he will not survive the war. An epilogue is set in 1994. Purchase at https://amzn.to/3PtAPmj.
