GEESE MATE FOR LIFE

About the Book

"They say that geese mate for life. I have to wonder what's going through their minds when they're flying. Are they thinking, 'My mate isn't flying in front of me long enough and how selfish is he and why can't he stay in formation for one minute?' I doubt it. They seem to stick together no matter what."

In a charming twist on the traditional correspondences form of a novel, Geese Mate for Life is the hilarious e-mail diary between childhood chums, Libby and Sugar, as they struggle with the joys and frustrations of motherhood, marriage, and careers over the course of one roller-coaster year.

The two thirty-something women candidly kibitz about kids, housework, cougars, and corporate restructuring via daily email. From sick kids and apathetic husbands to horrendous holidays and PMS commiseration, the girls reveal their saucy wit and deep friendship. But when Libby and Sugar encounter life-altering events that leave them more than a little off-balance, the two wonder if life's answers aren't closer than they think.

Sometimes the truth is hilarious, embarrassing, or poignant, but one thing is for sure: with Libby and Sugar, it's always entertaining!
