Bitches Ride Alone

In the linked short stories of Bitches Ride Alone, Laura Chester returns to her signature subject matter with headlong, unguarded candor. Chronicling girlhood crushes, bittersweet love affairs, and erotic fantasies, Chester's narrator, a nameless divorcee in her middle forties, examines the tension between the idealism of womanly desire and the shortcomings of reality. The titles of the stories say it all: "First-base Boyfriend," "The Never Enough Club," "How Not to Seduce Your Therapist," "The Art of Kissing at the Age of Forty." Chester's courage, honesty, and humor are here in abundance and are a healing balm to every woman's romantic misery.Chester, Laura is the author of 'Bitches Ride Alone' with ISBN 9780876858479 and ISBN 0876858477.
