Items related to Red Hat Club
Meet Georgia, SuSu, Teeny, Diane, and Linda-five women who've been best friends through thirty years since high school. Whenever they get the chance, they don their red hats and purple outfits for a delicious monthly serving of racy jokes, iced tea and chicken salad, baskets of sweet rolls, the latest Buckhead gossip, and-most of all-lively support and caring through the ups and downs of their lives. When Diane discovers her banker husband has a condo (with mistress) that he bought with their retirement funds, the Red Hats swing into action and plot to hang him with his own rope in a story that serves up laughter, elegant revenge, high school memories, long-lost loves, a suburban dominatrix, plenty of white wine and junk food and most of all, the power of friendship.

About the Author:
Baby boomer Haywood Smith (born Anne Haywood Pritchett) grew up as one of five children in north Atlanta, Georgia. She has incorporated many of her memories of E. Rivers Elementary, Northside High, and Buckhead into her latest, light-hearted tribute to Southern womanhood. Inspired by Jenny Joseph's free-spirited poem, "Warning," Haywood has revisited the "big small town" of her youth in this coming-of-middle age tribute to the "Jilted Generation"-women who, like her, have emerged victorious through divorce, terrible teens, menopause, the Internet, tennis elbow, spreading waistlines, nothing but tacky clothes in the stores, and countless other modern tribulations. Haywood loves to hear from readers who enjoy her books. Please write her care of St. Martin's Press at 175 Fifth Avenue, NY, NY 10010. or email her at haywood100@aol.com with "Reader Mail" in the subject line.
