Maybe Later, Love — Claire Bocardo

Dorrie Greene was astonished! After thirty-five years of being "George Greene's lovely wife" she was now a whole new person. What a surprise to discover that she was a natural-born businesswoman -- and that running the family jewelry store was fun as well as challenging. What a delight not to take any guff from her bossy grown children -- even when she decided to have a complete makeover that included a brand new hairstyle and a most unconservative wardrobe. What a treat to go anywhere she liked, to eat when she chose -- even crackers in bed! There was only one little problem: Dorrie Greene was lonely.

But not for long. Soon "the new Dorrie" was attracting admiring glances -- and abundant masculine attention. The widowed wallflower had suddenly burst into bloom ... all over again. But this time, things were different: Dorrie was in charge. She'd take things at her own pace, and she'd do the choosing. Better late than never, Dorrie declared. And soon life and love were even better than that: they were better than ever!
