Booksigning at Borders Books & Music in Commack February 23, 2008

Author Mary E. Mitchell will sign copies of her new book "Starting Out Sideways".

Roseanna Plow is perfectly content with her nice, simple life on Long Island, despite the fact that shes being driven slowly insane by her meddling mother, who resembles Donna Reed on drugs. Rosie is very happy with her handsome husband and a fulfilling career as job counselor for the developmentally challenged. It might not be glamorous work, but Rosie is proud of the fact that she cares more about people than Prada. What more could a woman want in life? Except maybe being able to wear a sexy thong that doesnt make her behind look like a rump roast in butcher string

But when Rosies incredible husband turns out to be an incredible putzrunning off with her best friend Ingaher life goes from Seventh Heaven to Jerry Springer in the blink of an eye and the tip of a wine glass. Alone and deceived, but with her sense of humor still intact, Rosie turns to her wonderfully wacky mother to help her bounce back. Of course, Mas recipe for mental recovery leaves much to be desired. And after Rosie discovers a painful family secret, hidden behind years of lies, she must set out to find herself and what really matters in life.
