Norma Ever After A Novel Author:Nancy Baxter Once upon a time, specifically ourtime, there lived an ordinary commoner named Norma Dale. Hovering near thirty, Norma no longer expected passion, or even romance. Not since puberty and the retirement of her single Ken doll and his harem of Barbies. . . . — When Norma’s father leaves her a sea chest brimming with cash, and her belov... more »ed plush puffin from childhood, she takes the old stuffed bird as a sign– and decides that it’s high time she started believing in fairy tales. Particularly, the ones her father used to tell her about the mystical Orkney Islands.
So Norma travels to the far north of Scotland, where she discovers that nesting puffins are indeed real. And, unbelievably, so are the handsome men of the heather she’s always dreamed of . . . and they’re looking in her direction.
Suddenly, Norma feels sexy. Not go-go boots and hot pants sexy; more mysterious, like a lithe and lovely young Catherine from Wuthering Heights sexy (minus the dead part). But there’s more than one Heathcliff on these moors. Will she choose the brooding artist, the brash Texan, or the sensitive professor? If those Barbies could see her now. . . .« less
I read the first 8 chapters of this book waiting for it to get good, it didnt so I stopped reading it. Just was a boring book, which stinks because Ive had it on my wishlist for over 6 months:(
Norma has been the "Oh no, not you" girl for years. After her father dies, he leaves her a key to a chest with a puffin and almost half a million dollars. She uses the money to go see the puffins in real life. When she gets there, she finds she is now a mysterious woman with sex appeal. It was a fascinating story.
