The Whisk of Love Elaine Hoover

Fifty-year-old Marcia, a resident of the small, unexciting town of Haystack, Wisconsin, sells scalp massagers-also known as "scalp whisks"-for a living. With the help of her friend Betty, Marcia spends her free time engaged in an endless search for a man. Unfortunately, her hunt for the man of her dreams has become as challenging as finding a needle in a haystack. In her quest for true love, Marcia endures blind dates, hires a dating service, attends singles events, and attempts online dating-all to no avail. Despite enduring endless disaster dates that include wacky characters like "Crack Head Bob" and "Farmer Tony", Marcia still holds on to the slim hope that she will someday find a man who will treat her like the queen she is-and maybe even gently "whisk" her tired scalp on cold Wisconsin nights. Left with few options, Marcia turns to a social networking site. What she finds there will change her destiny forever. In this delightfully witty romantic tale, a middle-aged woman must learn to not only survive, but blossom into who she was always meant to be as she embarks on a hilarious roller coaster journey through the unpredictability of romance.
