Raising My Titanic - Mary Sheldon (Cass)
Title: Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror Title: Raising My Titanic Author: Mary Sheldon Genre: Transportation, History Format: Cassettes (Abridged) Synopsis: "Here she is indeed - Betty Donaldson, thirty years old, mother of four-year-old Molly, and about to sign the divorce papers that will end her eight-year marriage and make her a free woman once again." "Welcome to Betty's new life. It's bewildering - funny - joyous - heartbreaking - and it always manages to knock her right off her feet. During the course of her first year as a single mother, we follow Betty as she careens from hilarious adventure, one crisis at work, and one romantic disaster to the next. There's the affair with the married man ("I play Jane Eyre for nobody, thank you very much.") There's Mitch, the ex-husband, who's thriving far too well, and his new girlfriend, the gorgeous blonde bimbo. There's Peter, the evil boss who grows a beard so that his resemblance to Simon Legree will be complete. And there's Molly, more savvy and sophisticated at four than Betty will ever be. Plus, we have the Cruise from Hell, the great Ballooning Adventure, Cancer of the Month, Sick Sperm, and the Class Reunion. And through it all, there's the poignant memory of Buddy, Betty's High School Sweetheart - the one that got away." "Raising My Titanic is about beating the odds and growing up and facing loss and still managing to stumble through. Even though there may be holes in your black fishnet stockings."--BOOK JACKET. Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved (Blackwell) Review: Publishers Weekly (September 23, 1996) Taking the form of a diary, this breezy story of a year in the life of a young L.A. divorce goes down as easily as a creme-filled chocolateand is just as nourishing. The first entry of the journal shows Betty, a 30-year-old editor at a books-on-tape company and mother of a five-year-old daughter, nervously signing her divorce papers. She subsequently pours out her qualms, memories and the day-by-day progress of her first year alone. There's the tricky business of sharing her daughter with an ex-husband who finds a new love a little too soon; the minefield of dating, made more hazardous by the misguided advice of friends; and the specter of an old high-school best friend and love interest whom she once rejected. The daughter of megaseller Sidney, Sheldon (Under the Influence) is smart enough to mix some bittersweet in with the sardonic, but she veers too often toward the coy punch line, as if the diary format entitled her to forsake all character development for the sake of perky one-liners and small parables of empowerment.
