Contessa Turnipseed's sharp tongue, hot derriere, and desire for the finer things in life are competing to see which can cause her the most trouble. Her sister Karen, the educated fool of the family, is a poster child for professional success but has a struggling love life and has fallen too easily for the wrong man. Patricia, the oldest of the three siblings, is bored out of her mind with her twenty-year marriage when she discovers her husband has had an affair-and an illegitimate baby. Emily, the matriarch of the Turnipseed family, is saucy and demanding even while recovering from a debilitating stroke. Still, she's intent on using her guile and the revelation of shocking family secrets to stop her three adult daughters from spiraling into separate crises. Mixing the humor, irreverence, wisdom, and strength of mother-daughter bonds, The Trouble With Red Lipstick follows the bold and brash Turnipseed women as their lives take a series of unexpected turns and they each learn, in their own way, the importance of love, trust, and forgiveness.
