Summary

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?

Critic reviews

"Donna Postel creates a glowing narration in this whimsical Southern tale about life’s unpredictable twists and turns.... Postel excels in showcasing Trudy’s fierce new independence. Her reading demonstrates the perfect recipe for a pleasing performance." (AudioFile)

Loved it!

A bleak moment is the turning point for Trudy but what a wonderful life unfolds ahead of her.
It’s a story about the power of not caring what others think, of being kind to others, true to your self and following your heart. Great narrator.

predictable but enjoyable

This is the story of Trudy and how her life was turned upside down on the day of her aunt's burial. Everything she knew changed in the blink of an eye.
Within the course of a day she decides to change her whole life, which leaves her husband and daughter in disbelief. When everyone tells her to go back to the way things were, she stands her ground and pushes through. In end it would all change for the better.

Even though the complete storyline was predictable, it didn't take away from it being an enjoyable read, with a happy ending. Sometimes that's all you need.

The Ladies Room a must read

It's quite true that men just don't understand The Ladies Room or why we go in pairs or all together. This book is so beautifully written in Carolyn Brown's wonderfully warm and funny style. It really is a must read or listen as in my case.
