The Jezebel Remedy (2015)
“Lisa said into her BlackBerry. She was driving the Mercedes, traveling on Route 58, talking to M.J. “They’re always sad cases. Ancient people in Velcro shoes and huge diapers who don’t know where the hell they are.”
“That’ll be us one of these days,” M.J. said. “At least we won’t be accusing our kids of stealing from us or poisoning the Ensure.”
“I don’t even want to think about it. Ugh. I’ve had my fill of dying this last year.”
“How’d it go with the preacher?” M.J. asked.
“He was pleasant and... friendly. Very genuine. I liked him, but I just couldn’t go through with it. I basically chickened out. I didn’t want to be put to death by stoning or banished to the wilderness to perish or whatever else the Old Testament requires, plus talking to a complete stranger about my marriage was just too weird, especially since religion hasn’t been my cup of tea. Makes me wish it were to some extent—it’d be nice to have something to rely on. I’m starting to believe that there is no Jezebel remedy.MoreLess
