Faye Yager has an assignment for women who want to run. Write a story explaining why. Ellen seemed to have relished the opportunity, filling five typewritten pages. In the mini-series of her life, Valley of the Dolls meets A Good Man Is Hard to Find. The first words are these...
...front porch hosts tapestry-print pillows scattered on porch seats and a conspicuous sign that reads "Center for High Energy Metaphysics." Fish live in a large bathtub in the window of the common room, with "Happiness is Now" painted on the side panel of their rather green mini-pond. A suspicious salt-shaker containing "oregano" graces the kitchen cabinet, and the refrigerator holds only rows of organic milk.

Beecher, adds a deliciously straight-faced irony to Lidie's own rather un-ladylike story. In addition, a mini-title that summarizes that page's subject in about five words or less is found at the top of every odd-numbered page, adding even more to the book's vividly antique feel...
