We’ve all had one of those days when we’ve been tempted to give in to frustration and compose an ‘I quit’ letter—a letter we never intend to submit. Janet DeMarco is having one of those days. In the chaos of demanding phone calls, an absent boss, and deadlines to be met, Janet settles her fingers on the computer keyboard and puts her ‘I quit’ letter into print. Her husband and his cousin, who happens to be Janet’s boss, think this is a joke. Believing she is not taken seriously, Janet resigns from her duties at home, too. This begins a journey of self-discovery she hadn’t a clue she needed to take.
Finding Hope is about the ever-evolving spirit within every woman.
Women's Fiction
Excerpt
Dear family,
I quit. Effective immediately, I am no longer the cook, laundress, shopper, housekeeper, chauffeur, landscaper, or resident problem-solver. Oh, I’m also not the banker or the ATM. I am, however, the instructor. Classes will begin tomorrow and seating is limited, so you should sign-up early.
A cooking class will be conducted at five-thirty sharp. Bring your inquiring mind and appetite. A cook book will be available. On Saturday, I will offer two sessions--general housekeeping and laundry. Supplies will be provided. However, if you are attending the laundry session, please separate clothing into lights and darks and bring those with you. This class begins at nine a.m. in the basement.
Housekeeping will commence at ten, once you have mastered washing machine settings and drying times. Rubber gloves are recommended for those who have delicate skin or have had expensive manicures recently. Other workshops, such as money-management, will be scheduled as needed and announcements will be posted. Don’t be late and get left out in the cold.
Janet R. DeMarco,
Wife, Mother, Person
