Love Letters — Elaine Camp

DEAR MAUDIE,

What should I do about my philandering husband? My daughter's flirty boyfriend? My boring love life? Emmy Bakersfield, aka "Maudie," dealt with such questions every day. Her most intriguing correspondent wanted to know how to woo the woman he'd loved since college, even though she thought of him only as a friend.

Emmy tried to help. "Send roses," she said--but she had her own problems. The publicity for her first book was being handled by her old college buddy Whit Hayes, but she felt differently about Whit now. If only he'd stop deluging her with roses!
