The Scoop (Godmothers Series) Audio CD – CD, July 28, 2010
Teresa “Toots” Amelia Loudenberry has crammed a great deal of living—not to mention eight much-loved husbands—into her varied and rewarding life. Newly single, Toots is ready to taste life again, and fate has just handed her the perfect opportunity.
The owner of the gossip rag where Toots’s daughter works is about to lose the paper to his gambling debts. Eager to find a way to keep her daughter employed among the movers and shakers of Hollywood, Toots calls on her three trusted friends—Sophie, Mavis, and Ida—to help her pull some strings. Together, they’ll hatch a plan that promises thrills, laughter, and more than a hint of danger. Putting aside her widow’s weeds (black was never her color), Toots will prove that you should never underestimate a Southern lady of a certain age, and that each day can be a gift, if you’re willing to claim it.…

Chris Clay is , even taking him to work with her. A step-son of Toots is devoted to both Toots and Abby, in fact Chris has been in love with Abby forever but treat each other more like brother and sister, though they both feel the between them as much more than a brother and sister relationship. Abby is a journalist employed by a third rate tabloid, hoping to eventually own her own tabloid newspaper. She loves her job. Chris is a celebrity lawyer whose job is to escort all the future gorgeous starlets around to be seen in all the right places. Toots took charge of her friends. Mavis was overweight and embarrassed about herself and short of breath. Toots decided she had to diet and had all the girls helping her change her eating habits and Toots found her an exercise program with a personal trainer.
Convinced her friends are in need of friendship, Toots, plans a trip to California to buy the paper up for sale that her daughter works at. She invites Sophie, who she is closest too. Sophie has been married to Walter, a drunk and abuser, who is now dying, for too long. Sophie is a no nonsense, speak your mind, cigarette-huffing, ball of pushiness who is laugh out loud funny. Mavis, the sweet School Teacher, who is overweight, but positive and dotes on her dog named, Coco. Ida, who is a nervous wreck with severe OCD, and has enough snootiest to cool a hot summer day, and is still mad at Toots for stealing her man, have all come to see their goddaughter.
Abby, is a tiny, but beautiful blonde bombshell, who has a man named Chris Clay pinning after her. It just so happens that this is also her mother's lawyer. Can we just say....sneaky? I loved this book and recommend it! I laughed, cried, and cussed throughout this powerful book about friendship, family, and what it means to take care of each other!
I didn’t learn anything new about human nature, or myself, or even an experience, place, or skill.
I am in the age group of the women depicted, and none of us drink that much, smoke that much, or eat as much sugar.
The only reference to faith was to blame catholic guilt for Sophie staying with an abusive husband, (but the same catholic guilt did not keep her from relishing the thought of his impending death.)
Lost of loose ends as it is the first of a series. Indeed, nothing is resolved. I have enjoyed Fern Michaels books in the past. This one, not so much.
