Book Description.....
"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?"

"The Ladies' Room" by Carolyn Brown
My Thoughts...
This was quite a interesting read of a women taking charge of her life after finding out her husband of 20 years has been nothing more than a cheat! What a way to find out about this out after being overheard at a funeral [in the ladies room] and Trudy decides to make some changes in her life...by starting all over. This story will have some very interesting characters...from 'aunt Gert, wayward child[Crystal],a mom [with Alzheimer's] a philanderer husband [Drew], two obnoxious relatives [Marty & Betsy] and a true friend [Billy Lee'] that were all unique in one way or another. Be sure that there will be a lots of 'sadness, joy, pain pleasure, laughter, timidity and courage' before this story is over giving the reader one heck of a read when it's all said and done in this heartwarming story that was without any violence or explicit sex. I loved how this story 'revolves around Trudy finding her self respect in sticking with tough decisions. From what Truly will hear in the ladies' room will she be able to see a future with Billy Lee[the neighbor]? Oh yes, the plot is somewhat predictable but it's still a good read. Will Trudy and Billy finally get their HEA? Well, to get all of the answers to these questions you will have to pick up this good read to see.
