With strong comedy and love interests, this story reveals real-life situations, and the fact that sex is not just for the young. The 'over-60' crowd takes the reins in this story and can change your mind about the fun of growing older. In this story Ruby Maguire, the heroine of this romantic comedy, married young, had a child, and lived a life befitting the picture of a strong 'nuclear' family. In the small town of Smileyville, Kansas where one and all know everything about everyone, Ruby presents herself as a strong church going, God-fearing citizen, and this is the image she'd always presented to the world. But what she presents is something she is not. She had never been sure that her husband ever loved her. Having little sex in her married life, she fearfully thinks this had impact on having a gay son. All this unhappiness was due to an event that she'd never shared with anyone - until now. In a desperate attempt to right her empty life, she tells of a terrible secret on her sixty-fifth birthday. She and her three close friends are members of a local chapter of a Ladies Society named "The Garter Girls." The women of her group are gleefully abuzz with gossip, memories of youth, sex, and all are brimming with hope of a September romance. In this story, it is their determination to help their friend Ruby find love once again. Their search leads to strange and wild adventures for the ladies, where each wants to find excitement and love. In the end, Ruby finds what she had been looking for all her life... in her husband's arms.This is a book that makes you want to read it a second time
