It’s about Ginger Kanadoo, a desperate, washed up, old school realtor who drinks too much white zinfandel and eats too many doughnut holes. She hasn’t had a sale in a year and her only listing is an outhouse w/water views of a weed-choked lake.
Ginger Kanadoo of Kanadoo Real Estate NEEDS A SALE. Worn out, hard-up, and so hung over she can barely tell a property line from a panty line, she’ll do just about anything to make somebody -- anybody -- sign on the dotted line! Her only listing is an outhouse with water views of a weed-choked lake. She’s a single mom with a wiccan teenage daughter who does spells in the nude with her coven. To top it off, Tandy Brickenhausen comes to town, Ginger’s cleavage-wielding rival from the mean streets of Manhattan, eager to steal every listing in a fifty mile radius.
Professional Reviews
Alex Beam - Boston Globe
It's hard to think about without crying...Well, try laughing instead. In Cracks in the Foundation, Erica Ferencik convinces us that comic reality is more hysterical than we ever imagined.
Tony Kahn - National Public Radio
Erica Ferencik is a triple-threat humorist and fiction writer with the heart of an angel, the wit of a first-rate satirist, and the zaniness of John Cleese.
Mary E. Mitchell, author of Love in Complete Sentences
Seldom have I loved a heroine with more abandon than the ever-opitmistic Ginger Kanadoo, washed up realtor with an outhouse to sell and a daughter from hell. Erica Ferencik's big-hearted debut is very fresh and very funny, full of flawed characters with feet of clay and hearts of gold. This is a winner of a novel, an enjoyable reminder that the grass is always greener on the other side of the outhouse.
