I loved this book. It shows us that being 50 and divorced is not the end of the world and women can survive anything and come out stronger for it.

The characters were good, lots of action, things happening to them. A dysfunctional family who loves each other and comes together when necessary. Is there a sequel? There should be.

A, yet another Ya-Ya knockoff - but this one is good!!! It will make you laugh and as well, cry... you see the main character come to grips with her inner demons in the crazy town she grew up in.

I loved this book! I enjoyed the fact that the heroine was not a twenty something, hard body, looking for Mr Right. I liked the fact that Linwood is flat-broke, fifty and divorced (all of which I could identify with, even though Im not quite fifty!). I laughed out loud several times while reading this and some of the descriptions still crack me up when I think about them. Her description comparing the coffee club to crows on a line reminds me of some of the people from my home town. This is the first book I've read by this author, however I am looking forward to reading more by her.

Started out slow but this book is well worth the read. Very funny story of a woman starting over after her divorce at 50, moving in with her parents, brother and aunt and uncle. Loved it once the plot started moving.

Great Book! Great story about taking what life has given you and making the best of it! Even though the main character is in her 50's I related to everything she wrote about! Laughed a lot too!!

Haywood Smith's Queen Bee of Mimosa Branch is about a recently divorced woman who has to move home with her wacky family. She finds herself working at her high school job and chasing the "boy" next door like a teenager. Mix in shady politics and you get a very good read. Just be warned that the main character's new favorite motto includes the "f" word. This is the only reason I won't forward this book to my mom.
