Book Description
The daughter of a pair of leftover seventies' Peaceniks, life-long Manhattanite Ginger Petrocelli has spent most of her thirty-one years in pursuit of a "normal" life, preferably one as unlike that of her now-widowed, still-activist mother as possible. And, between her steadily growing career as a chi-chi interior designer at a top Eastside Manhattan firm, as well as her imminent wedding to the son of a Republican congressman, it looks as though her goal is within her grasp.
Except then, in rapid succession, the groom goes missing (which really screws up her honeymoon plans); her Boss-from-Hell turns up dead (which really screws up her finances); and she loses her beloved sublet studio apartment (which forces her back into the Morningside Heights apartment her Jewish mother shares with Ginger's eighty-year-old Italian grandmother, and which basically screws up everything else). Oh, and then there's the reintroduction into her life of one Nick Wojowodski, NYPD, who handily relieved Ginger of her virginity at her cousin's wedding ten years before and who, it pains her to admit, she would probably allow the same privilege now. If she weren't of the decided opinion, just at the moment, that all men should be shot. From Author’s website
