The Red Hat Society's Queens of Woodlawn Avenue
BJ avatar reviewed on + 61 more book reviews


Ellie Johnston's husband dumps her for a Hooters waitress and Elllie buys a rundown 1920s Tudor house on Woodlawn Avenue. It's got a heart-shaped living room doorway, the reason for which become evident when neighbor Jane Mansfield visits with her famous pound cake. It seems that 4 houses on Woodlawn Avenue were built by bridge-playing friends and Ellie is the Queen of Hearts. Her 3 bridge partners not only teach her the game, but help her find a new career, start dating after her divorce and deal with her ex-husband.
