The Fool's Handbook

About the Book

Ladies, learn from my mistakes!

A girl cast adrift in a sea of scoundrels from the get-go, I careened across the country by motorcycle, foot, and train with only my loyal terrier for support. Indulging in reprehensible activity and yes, preposterous choices, I blamed it all on the dastardly treatment from my daughter-hating mother and her depraved boy friend. As for the rest I encountered on my ride— an over-zealous speech therapist, a besotted great aunt, a silver tongued CEO, a pot smoking plumber, a passionate Turkish singer, and the pear-shaped millionaire magnate— they surely added to my quandaries. I nevertheless emerged from the mire somewhat wiser, and am here to tell the story.

That’s me behind her, hurtling across the country on a motorcycle. Yes, I stuck with her through all the adventures and shenanigans— not to mention hitchhiking across country with those loons; I was lucky I didn’t get stuck in the slammer with her. As for the men: if I could talk I’d have told her to steer clear of those losers. Fact is, sometimes humans take a while to get things straight.
