Divorce Southern Style
Author(s):
Jennifer Jarrett
Divorced for fifteen years, and running low on cash, Eleanor Bander decides reconciliation with her ex-husband (whose second wife died the year before) is her best hope. To lure him within striking range, she tells him that their daughter is about to be married--hinting that it is a forced situation--when the truth is that the daughter is merely engaged again (for the fifth time) to her long-standing fiancé. The ex-husband, Walter, not only arrives, but brings along his current flame, a former classmate who was Eleanor’s competition from high school days. As the plot thickens, which it does with growing hilarity, Eleanor’s friends and neighbors become involved in the action, culminating in a surprise birthday party where the truth, at last, comes out. But Walter is prepared to forgive and forget, and falls easily into Eleanor’s trap. So easily, in fact, that Eleanor is the one who now has second thoughts--deciding that it is better, after all, to stay single, and broke, than to resume the bickering which drove her away from Walter in the first place.
