Synopsis

A Wall Street Journal bestseller.Secrets told in the church ladies' room are supposed to stay in the ladies' room. But that doesn't mean that what Trudy overhears there during her great-aunt Gertrude's funeral won't change the rest of her life.Trudy has a daughter in the middle of a major rebellion, a two-timing husband who has been cheating for their entire married life, and a mother with Alzheimer's residing in the local nursing home. She doesn't really need a crumbling old house about to fall into nothing but a pile of memories and broken knickknacks.Billy Lee Tucker, resident oddball in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, lived next door to Gert, and in her will she leaves him the funds to help Trudy remodel the old house. That's fine with Billy Lee, because he's been in love with Trudy since before they started school. And just spending time with her is something he'd never ever allowed himself to dream about.A beautiful home rises up from the old house on Broadway, and right along with it rises up a relationship. But is Trudy too scarred from what she heard in the ladies' room to see a lovely future with Billy Lee?

I loved this book from start to finish. Watching Trudy take charge of her life was both hilarious and touching, and every woman deserves a Billy Lee of her very own.

Ok. It's not Shakespeare. It won't win a Pulitzer. And, I've certainly read better. But, Ladies Room has its endearing moments and I found it to be highly entertaining and a fast read. Trudy, a middle-aged woman who has been emotionally absent for far too long, finally gets a clue when she is punche......more

Goodreads review by Bonnie on February 10, 2018

This book wasn't at all what I thought it was going to be based on the first line of the summary. "Secrets told in the church ladies' room... It's so much better!
