The Ladies' Room by Carolyn Brown is one of the most delightful Romance novels I have read in ages. Trudy has to start her life all over after she finally faces up to the truth: that her husband is a lying cheat and she has spent twenty years attempting to function in her marriage in spite of it. Great-Aunt Gert's funeral-day is that day, and that evening she walks out of her marriage house with the clothing on her back and contents of her purse, knowing that she wants nothing - NOTHING! - from that rat or from her former life...except a relationship with her daughter.

Trudy's internal fire burns away all pretense she has learned to build her life on as she remodels the house Great-Aunt Gert left her, with the help of Billy Lee, who was a childhood friend. None of her former "friends" attempt to make contact with Trudy to give her love, emotional support, or assistance...Only Billy Lee. Her former husband has even made conscious efforts to turn her daughter against her. But the fire burns hot, refining her spirit into her true self, so Trudy's triumph in the end is that when she finds her daughter again, it is with a fullness of mother-love and kindness; and when she finds her love for Billy Lee, it is with the fullness of the love in both their hearts after a year of not courting but working together to build a life for themselves.

I have filed The Ladies' Room by Carolyn Brown with my "Favorites" on my Kindle-shelf so I can read it again and again.
