Shoe Addicts Anonymous : A Novel

"Kick off your Keds (unless you're driving) and meet a motley group of D.C. women who bond over designer shoes. It's chick lit with heart and sole." —People magazine

Four different women. One common shoe size.

Helene Zaharis's politician husband keeps her on a tight leash and cancels her credit cards as a way of controlling her. Lorna Rafferty is up to her eyeballs in debt and can't stop her addiction to eBay. Sandra Vanderslice can't leave the house and pays her shoe bills by working as a phone-sex operator. And Jocelyn Bowen (who barely knows a sole from a heel) is a nanny for the family from hell and will do anything to get out of the house.

And a shared lust for fabulous footwear…

On Tuesday nights, these women meet to trade shoes and, in the process, form friendships that will help them each triumph over their problems—from secret pasts to blackmail, bankruptcy, and dating. Funny, emotional, and powerful, Beth Harbison's Shoe Addicts Anonymous is a perfect read for any woman who has ever struggled to find the perfect fit.
