About This Item
York Beach, ME: Conari Press, 2006. First Edition with full numberline 8vo size pictorial hardcover with matching dust jacket; 80 pages with full color illustrations by the author. From dust jacket: "(This book) is a very fashionable examination of who we are by what we wear on our feet. Or to look at it another way, (it) is how to judge a girl by her shoes. From the moment you slip, strap or wedge them on, your shoes are telling the world who you are. At least for today, anyway. What do those thigh high boots say? Are your strappy satin numbers sending the message you want them to? Or are your fuzzy mules giving away all you delicious little secrets to anyone who's versed in speaking shoe?"

Lorna Rafferty is up to her eyeballs in debt and can't stop her addiction to . Sandra Vanderslice, battling agoraphobia, pays her shoe bills by working as a phone-sex operator. And Jocelyn Bowen is a nanny for the family from hell (who barely knows a sole from a heel but who will do anything to get out of the house.) On Tuesday nights, these women meet to trade shoes and, in the process, form friendships that will help them each triumph over their problems - from secret pasts to blackmail, bankruptcy, and dating. Funny, emotional, and powerful, (this book) is a perfect read for any woman who has ever struggled to find the perfect fit."
