Maudie Mae for President

Irreverent, impudent and intriguing. The grandmas are a trip and they take the reader on a trip through the beautiful desert Southwest as they track a convicted felon to a shopping mall in El Paso. Twila is a conscientious librarian but her housemate, Maudie Mae, doesn't care whether she's politically correct or not -- she tells it like she sees it. This book will make you laugh out loud. Here's the beginning of chapter one: "Twila Dewberry had just plumped up the couch pillows, slipped off her loafers, and settled down for a good read when Maudie Mae pranced into the living room in her butterscotch ostrich leather boots. Twila marked the passage she had been reading with her finger. "I'm off to the Pine Knot to teach a couple of those old farts how to two-step," Maudie Mae said as she threaded a leather hand-tooled belt through the loops on her jeans. The belt was embellished with embroidered insets in a Navajo design, alternating with rows of small white bones attached with braided strips of leather. The first time Twila had seen the distinctive belt, she had admired the design. Maudie Mae had rubbed her fingers over the smooth little bones and nodded solemnly. "These are my ex-husband's teeth," she said, pausing to wait for her words to sink in, then shrieking delightedly at Twila's consternation. Since then, Twila had seen Maudie pull the same trick on several other unsuspecting people. Even when Maudie tried the line on somebody who had already heard the joke and beat her to the punch line, it didn't diminish her delight. If the knowing suspect was a man, Maudie would fold her arms across her chest and ask, "You weren't fixing to propose, now, were you?" Beautiful descriptions of the desert, a little bit of mystery, and a lot of fun.
