A bad day for sorry

A bad day for sorry/Sophie Littlefield 280 pg.

This book is set in rural Missouri where our heroine Stella Hardesty runs a sewing shop along with her side business where she corrects badly behaving husbands/boyfriends. The side business is, of course, where all the good action is unless you count the "situation" with some customers of the sewing shop who try to capitalize on a mistake and clean her out packages of 2 and a half inch binding. Back to the main event: Stella is trying to help Chrissy with the disapperance of her 18 month old son. Chrissy had recently used Stella's services to help correct the behavior of her husband so he becomes an early suspect. Of course it could have been the ex-husband too. Neither of these men are the father of the baby. Stella puts her various skills to work...skills she has acquired since she began her side business a few years ago after she dispatch her own abusive husband. This is no romance but I found myself loving with Stella. She is a wonderful character and I look forward to reading her latest adventures and seeing this made into a movie. - Christa
