Inhalt:
Everything changes for Abby Randolph when she goes on Antiques Roadshow. She arrives at the crack of dawn carting a chamber pot left to her by her mother. She leaves cradling a valuable antique that once did service under the bed of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Suddenly her life is turned upside down. She's slapped with a lawsuit for possession of the chamber pot by her ex-best friend, the daughter of her mother's (female) lover. She's wooed by a reporter who may or may not be honorable. She's hounded by her past and the men she's determined to keep in the past. Reeling from such seismic shifts, Abby embarks on an exhilarating, laugh-out-loud-funny journey of the self, of disputes legal and romantic, of friendships lost and found, and of love and sex both spurned and welcomed. Who could imagine that the lessons Abby learns from a pedigreed chamber pot might prove more valuable than those taught in lofty Harvard lecture halls?
