The Difference Between You And Me

From the author of "Cranberry Queen" comes the redemptive story of two women whose lives collide with hilarious, devastating consequences.

When the hottest script in Hollywood lands in her lap, Josephine O'Leary sets out to conquer the film industry. Never mind that her beleaguered husband is miserable, and her bitchy boss is driving her nuts---Josephine's got screenwriters to sleep with, and no time for guilt. Meanwhile, Carla Trousse, a jaded New Yorker --- who just got laid off, can't get a decent date, and wakes up one day to find her roof literally caved in --- is heading to Hollywood to start life over. When a blockbuster revelation about one of Hollywood's biggest stars sends shock waves through the industry, Carla and Josephine are thrown together. The result is chronicled in a laugh-out-loud but searing tale that explores the perils of ambition and the redemptive power of friendship. With a light touch, author Kathleen DeMarco illuminates the crazy-making dilemmas that every modern woman will recognize --- from office skirmishes to baby lust, from professional ambition to the self-help craze --- and shows how even the most mismatched pair of women can set aside their differences and help put one another's lives back together.
