Book Description

Jan 23 2007
Connie Nixon is no stranger to making lists. In fact, she has rewritten the list of her deepest desires no fewer than forty-eight times. And each Sunday, for as long as she can remember, she’s tinkered with it. But actually doing something about her desires is a different story—until the night she comes across a box belonging to her estranged daughter…and makes a stunning discovery. It turns out that her seemingly straitlaced Jessica is part owner of one of the most successful sex toy shops in America.

Shocked by her daughter’s secret life, Connie tucks her list in her back pocket and does something utterly impulsive: she hops on a plane to New York City to track down Jessica—and winds up on the wildest adventure of her life. Because with her daughter’s help, Connie’s about to let her own inner bombshell see the light of day.

Now, for the first time ever, things are flying off Connie’s list. Like reconnecting with her daughter. And getting tipsy before noon. And the most startlingly extraordinary desire of all: falling in love.

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

With her retirement looming, nurse Connie Nixon is preparing a "list of dreams" to accomplish once she's out of the working week. Revised 48 times by her retirement date, Connie's structured quest to let loose provides the opportunity for Radish (Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral) to spin an inspirational story about making amends and the power of mother-daughter love. Connie's list contains run-of-the mill things like "stop setting the alarm clock" and "write more thank-you notes" and mildly daring to-do's like buying a convertible and drinking wine before noon. It is, however, the confluence of two list items, "maybe sex" and "recapture Jessica," that pushes Connie to rejuvenate her relationship with youngest daughter Jessica, who moved from hometown Indiana to New York three years ago and has since become the "CEO and part owner of... one of the most successful sex-toy stores in the United States of America." Connie travels to the Big Apple, and the two women reconnect in an unexpected way: Jessica puts Connie to work in the sex toy business. Every page contains a warm fuzzy. (Jan.)

From Booklist

Connie Nixon has retired after 32 years of nursing and is ready to address her list of dreams. The thought excites and scares her. In the midst of selling her house, she opens boxes belonging to her estranged oldest daughter, Jessica, who lives in New York City, and finds that Jessica acted on her dream: she owns a sex-aid store for women. Connie leaves her small Indiana town and flies to New York to reconnect with her daughter, the first step in altering Connie's life. Soon her strait-laced life is dismantled as Connie experiences her own personal sexual revolution with the guidance of her daughter, and she has the time of her life. Radish provides her readers with what they expect and will relish--a paean extolling the virtues of sisterhood that encompasses mothers and daughters and a rallying cry encouraging women to seek sexual fulfillment at any age.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wet Dreams Dec 20 2007
Format:Paperback
If you're at all prudish, read this book.

It's a very funny novel about misunderstandings, prudish behaviour and loosening the straps (so to speak, wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

3.0 out of 5 stars "Coming of age" in middle age Mar 9 2007
By Barb M - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I listened to this as an audio book and so didn't get bogged down in the writing style others have complained about. I loved the idea of the list and could identify with a lot of Connie's issues. The book was about the strength of women's friendships and not being afraid and that people can grow and change even after 50, but it seemed to me that the dominant theme was female sexuality. This author had a message to get across and I think sacrificed the plot and characters in order to preach about awakening sexuality in women. There were some fun parts and some poignant parts but mostly it struck me as a confused book looking for an identity and ended up sounding much like a 1960's-type consciousness-raising session.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprise Mom Mar 21 2007
By Garden Nana - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Being a mother of 4 daughters, one living in NY this book was a good fit. A fun book about change, misconceptions, and family. It is a very real down to earth look at life with grown children, and a mom finally taking care of her self and having some fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and Heartwarming. May 20 2007
By The meemers - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is the first book that I have ever read from Kris and it won't be the last...I loved it. It tapped into all my emotions. Kris is a brilliant writer who knows how to emotionally connect the reader. Her characters resemble women that we all have known, or loved. I adored this book so much that I bought 5 copies to hand out to friends.(one to my mother) Kris's love of language shines through on every page. I just bought Annie Freemans Traveling Funeral!(can't hardly wait to start it!) I hope to see her the next time she tours in Mi. Kris, You Rock sistah!
