Tickled Pink A Comic Novel

It's the summer of 1980. Ronald Reagan is running for president, Elizabeth Taylor is in rehab, & Sting still has hair. Nobody is on the internet yet, the ozone layer is still thick, & the Spice Girls have not even been potty trained. It's not an innocent time, but it is more innocent than what follows. Mindy Solomon journeys to New York to become a dancer on Broadway. Ursula Duran journeys to New York to escape her overbearing mother. Plans change. Life intrudes. Ursula becomes a cover girl & Mindy ends up standing in front of inebriated strangers, night after night, talking into a microphone & leaving in the bits where people laugh. Mindy & Ursula both journey west to Hollywood, where death, birth, divorce, & facelifts all conspire to prove that the road to happiness is always under construction. Mindy learns to be funny, Ursula learns to be brave, & they both learn that friendship is hard to break.Rudner, Rita is the author of 'Tickled Pink A Comic Novel', published 2001 under ISBN 9780743442619 and ISBN 074344261X.
