Hens Dancing

When Venetia Summers' husband leaves her for another, suddenly she finds herself a single mother of three, her every ounce of wit and resource called into play as she strives to hold together her newly lopsided family. Venetia's attempts to make the best of things, both for her and her children, is intricately recorded in her diaries. Her battles are everyday ones--with wayward flora and fauna, nits, a traumatic bathroom conversion. But there are consolations in her day-to-day existence and perhaps, amongst it all, the promise of new love.
