From USA Today Bestselling author Katherine Hastings, whose books have won the SOVAS Award for Best Humor and been final nominees multiple times for the Best Humor Book AUDIE Awards, comes a laugh-out-loud tale of riches to rags…
Two Manhattan socialites. One Louisiana shack. Zero survival skills. What could go wrong?
For decades, CeCe and Diane ruled New York's elite—frenemies locked in a glitzy battle for social supremacy. Then the FBI showed up. Their husbands vanished with millions in stolen money, leaving the queens of couture with nothing.
No assets. No homes. Not even a yacht to fight over.
Penniless, homeless, and humiliated, the longtime rivals have no choice but to take refuge in the only place they have left—a crumbling house in Ruinville, Louisiana, inherited from Diane’s long-lost aunt.
The bayou is a far cry from Fifth Avenue. The neighbors are eccentric, the humidity is murder on their hair, and the resident alligator has zero respect for personal space. With no Plan B, CeCe, Diane, and CeCe’s ever-loyal assistant, Julian, must rebuild from scratch.
That means jobs (ugh), Walmart (gasp), and worst of all—depending on each other.
But if they can survive the bayou—and each other—they just might discover a second act they never saw coming.
Perfect for book clubs and readers who love humorous women’s fiction, unlikely friendships, and hilarious second chances, Riches to Ruinville is a feel-good novel that proves it’s never too late to start over.
