{"product_id":"tipsy-in-stilettos-looking-for-love-after-divorce","title":"Tipsy in Stilettos: Looking for Love After Divorce","description":"Being Tipsy in Stilettos is what happens when Jackie Madden Haugh, who once believed in the fairytale of happily ever after, finds herself single in her fifties after a 22-year marriage. But through the heartbreak, rejection, and fear of how to keep life together for her four teenage children, she still believes that true love is out there… somewhere… but where?\nOnce she ended two years of psychotherapy, and lying on a couch, where her therapist demanded that she not try dating while in counseling, and absolutely no sex, she finally broke free to begin her new life with men. But this would prove to be harder than analysis. Dating was no longer just a simple dinner and a movie to get to know one another. But rather, it became studying hundreds of faces listed on dating sites, many of them looking like mug shots of America’s most wanted.\nBut despite the struggle of finding someone who even looked average, somewhat fit, and who could write a coherent sentence when reaching out, Jackie arms herself with a glass of wine and a questionable amount of optimism. She dives in anyway, determined to wobble on 6-inch stilettos, graceful or not, to find her power (a gift from her best friend and partner-in-crime) and the love of her life.\nWhat follows is a series of laugh-out-loud misadventures: dates that should have come with the warning label “run now!” Many online matches, as well as men she met organically, defied explanation, leaving her to wonder whether staying home for the rest of her life in comfy PJs and a bottle of wine might be the better love story.\nBut beneath the humor (and occasional tipsiness) lies something much deeper. Jackie finds that learning to love herself means redefining not only her life but herself. And, in the end, she learns what true love is about, and it’s better than anything she could have ever imagined.\nHonest, irreverent, and painfully relatable to anyone who has been divorced and is trying to start over, Tipsy in Stilettos is for you. Don’t be afraid of the journey. You just might find someone magical, even if it’s just you.\n***\nThis book was written as autofiction, in which Jackie Madden Haugh’s real life serves as the spark for the narrative but is transformed through humor, heart, and her eye for drama.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0GYQCJQW5\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0GYQCJQW5.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Haugh, Jackie Madden\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
