The Do-Over (A Romantic Comedy)
by Kathy Dunnehoff
Just before her fortieth birthday, Mara Jane Mulligan, devoted wife and mother, runs out of bubble bath, and the ensuing panic attack drives her to Canada for more. She realizes that one foamy soak probably won’t cure what ails her, so she takes a 30 day vacation from her life. (What woman doesn’t need one of those?)
Surely her family will understand. Her son’s visiting Grandma, and maybe her husband won’t even miss her. Unfortunately, her husband doesn’t miss much and tracks her to Abundance, a Vancouver bubble bath company.
As her 30 days sail by, Mara Jane Mulligan discovers she has a decision to make that even Dorothy couldn’t avoid… Will she click her heels for home or kick them up for good?
The Do-Over is now the #1 Amazon Bestseller for “Romantic Comedy”!
Praise for The Do-Over:
“Kathy’s writing is filled with energy and promise and it feels as if at every other paragraph there’s an “I’ve been there.” Even though none of us would take a “vacation from our life” like Janie does, we can’t put the story down because the thread continues to bring with it more and more we love to read.” – Dennis Foley, Author of “A Requiem for Crows”
5 out of 5 star reviews…
“I loved this book ! It is perfect for anyone who has ever wanted a vacation from their life. A vacation to do nothing , no responsibilities, no one asking for a favor and no one wanting you to just be there in case.” – Ildi Garay, Book Reviewer
“I took The Do-Over on the plane and found the flow and fun so compelling that I actively missed being in the story during the ‘no electronic devices’ times! Thank you for a great deal of pleasure on a day of three flight changes and stale cookies.” – L. Myers, Book Reviewer
