We all have that list. Well, we all have many lists. But there is one list that is always bigger than all the others. That list of things we want to do...this year...before we die...eventually. In The Sunday List of Dreams, the main character, Connie writes and rewrites her list of dreams but has never done one of the items on that list. Now, facing retirement from a wonderful nursing career, Connie feels she can maybe tackle one or two of those items. The list of dreams contains things such as not setting an alarm clock to reconnecting with daughter Jessica, from buying a convertible - preferably red - to maybe, possibly having sex!
When Connie heads out to NYC from small town Indiana to reconnect with her oldest daughter Jessica, a whole other world is opened to her. She learns that Jessica is the founder and CEO of one of the most successful sex toy stores in the US! Connie, who can barely say the words "sex toys" ends up becoming a successful saleswoman at Jessica's store. And as you can imagine, there are some funny tales in that. But a mother-daughter bond is rekindled and items start getting crossed off her list at an amazing rate.
Kris Radish writes what women want to read and what women can relate to. I love her books. They stray from the average, cookie-cutter, women's fiction books out there. If I had money, I would buy a set of her books for all of my women friends & all of their women friends & so on. Underneath all the lists and sex toys in this book is a real story we all know - the mother-daughter bonds. But also finding yourself in that bond. It's not a mother-little girl bond and that may be the hardest thing for mothers to realize. The little girls grow up and become independent, strong women who can be nurses, doctors, lawyers, teachers, and even CEOs of sex toy empires.
