She's offbeat, off balance, and at times off-the-wall, a
late-thirties mother of two living in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and
trying to figure out who she is now that her husband has left her.
He's a rat, anyway, and currently attends Sex Addicts Anonymous. He
still comes by the house, though, as do her hippie, macrobiotic
mother; her feisty, alcoholic best friend; her God-fearing
grandmother; and that Perfect Guy, the one with the beatific son
who plays with her daughter, the one who happens to have a winning
smile, wild black hair, a professorship at Harvard--and (drats ) a
gorgeous doctor girlfriend.
Told in short takes that perfectly mimic the frantic nature of our
busy lives, " Hot and Bothered" follows its heroine through the
streets of Cambridge, where she spends far too much time staring
into space and sipping mocha lattes with extra whipped cream; to
church, where she prays for a little salvation; to Alaska, where
she believes a rugged outdoorsman might just "be" that salvation;
and to Cape Cod, where, in a little house by the sea, she might
finally see the light. Annie Downey has written an updated
Cinderella story for all single moms.
