An Appointed Time

Madge Middleton Brown is nearing fifty. She's frowzy, burned out, taken for granted, and locked in the blackest depression she's experienced since postpartum blues - could this be the end of the line? Not even! Madge grabs her own bootstraps, gives them a smart tug, and yanks herself up right out of the pits. She transforms herself into "Middy," a top consultant for StarWay Beauty Products and becomes the not-always-so-perfect assistant to the dreamiest private investigator on the planet. But in the process of finding herself, what will she have to do to pacify her demanding husband and almost-adult children? She's determined to never let them find out that she has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, and worse, has had to use it to save her fabulous, handsome, and very available PI boss. Talk about hot flashes!
