Praise for Jann

“... dating in midlife is enormously funny. It is enormously sad. But most of all, it is excruciatingly true. With no-holds-barred honesty and a strong faith in humankind that will not be denied despite the evidence, Winford tows the reader along to a rueful joy in second chances."

—Jacquelyn Mitchard, New York Times bestselling author

“Winford’s debut novel, a comic look at one woman’s middle-aged search for true love, is a quirky, sexy tale. Pure delight. A laugh out loud page-turner!”

—Dianne Dixon, double Emmy Nominee, Recipient of the Humanitas Prize for Excellence in Writing and author of The Language of Secrets, The Book of Someday and The Other Sister

"Warm-hearted and breezy, it's more like listening to a friend speak than reading a book. In between the giggles, you'll discover the frustrations of "pushing 50" dating. And each chapter is just the right length for bathroom reading."

—Hal Altman, Advertising Creative Director, Clio Winner

"What an absolute gem! A witty, laugh-out-loud dive into the zany world of middle-age dating. With razor-sharp humor and unfiltered honesty, Jan turns every awkward encounter and unexpected romance into a delightful adventure. A must-read for anyone who has walked into a first date wondering if they’ve made a terrible mistake—because in this book, every misstep is hilarious comedy."

—Anne-Marie Castleberg, author of Alice’s Garden

“A delightful and funny romp through pre-menopausal dating with Ruby Ann Wilson, a down-home, fast-talking woman who thinks she wants the perfect man, when what she really wants might just be hiding in plain sight.”

—Marcia Meier, Award-winning writer, editor, and publisher of Weeping Willow Books

About the Book

Come along with Ruby into a mature dating world that’s hilarious, surprising, and sometimes just downright weird. Her one final search for Mr. Right leads everywhere from the freezer aisle in a crowded supermarket to a luxury cruise in the Caribbean. By the time her laugh-filled search for love is over, Ruby has started an unusual home-based business, has flown cross-country wearing nothing but a bathing suit and has possible found the man of her dreams in the last place she would have ever thought he’d be.
