  <description><![CDATA[<strong>When a teenage boy's widowed mom gets a job as a stripper, it makes for some tricky social maneuvering in this coming-of-age story from the wonderfully witty Ron Koertge.</strong><br/><br/>  &quot;Anyway,&quot; Sully said, &quot;I've got just what you need to take your mind off your troubles.&quot;<br/>   &quot;Thirty pounds of chocolate decadence?&quot;<br/>   &quot;A girl.&quot;<br/>   &quot;I don't need a girl.&quot;<br/>   &quot;You do.  Now more than ever.&quot;<br/>   &quot;And what would I tell her my mother did for a living?&quot;<br/>   &quot;Lie.&quot;<br/><br/>Life has not been easy lately for sixteen-year-old Walker.  His father has died, his girlfriend has moved away, and the family finances are in a shambles.  Finally it seems as if things are looking up: Walker has a date with Rachel, the beautiful new girl in his class, and his mother has announced she's gotten a job.  Only not your average, run-of-the-mill mom's job.  Walker's mother is going to work as a stripper.  What if his friends find out?  What if Rachel finds out?  Coincidentally, Walker's dad has left him a piece of land on which Rachel's father is scheming to build a mall, and after seeing the land, Walker goes about the hard work of farming it - and the hard work of being in love for the first time.  Propelled by Ron Koertge's rapid-fire repartee, this is the funny and touching tale of a winningly honest protagonist discovering the perils and rewards of family, friendship, and romance.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<strong>When a teenage boy's widowed mom gets a job as a stripper, it makes for some tricky social maneuvering in this coming-of-age story from the wonderfully witty Ron Koertge.</strong><br/><br/>  &quot;Anyway,&quot; Sully said, &quot;I've got just what you need to take your mind off your troubles.&quot;<br/>   &quot;Thirty pounds of chocolate decadence?&quot;<br/>   &quot;A girl.&quot;<br/>   &quot;I don't need a girl.&quot;<br/>   &quot;You do.  Now more than ever.&quot;<br/>   &quot;And what would I tell her my mother did for a living?&quot;<br/>   &quot;Lie.&quot;<br/><br/>Life has not been easy lately for sixteen-year-old Walker.  His father has died, his girlfriend has moved away, and the family finances are in a shambles.  Finally it seems as if things are looking up: Walker has a date with Rachel, the beautiful new girl in his class, and his mother has announced she's gotten a job.  Only not your average, run-of-the-mill mom's job.  Walker's mother is going to work as a stripper.  What if his friends find out?  What if Rachel finds out?  Coincidentally, Walker's dad has left him a piece of land on which Rachel's father is scheming to build a mall, and after seeing the land, Walker goes about the hard work of farming it - and the hard work of being in love for the first time.  Propelled by Ron Koertge's rapid-fire repartee, this is the funny and touching tale of a winningly honest protagonist discovering the perils and rewards of family, friendship, and romance.]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>When a teenage boy's widowed mom gets a job as a stripper, it makes for some tricky social maneuvering in this coming-of-age story from the wonderfully witty Ron Koertge.</strong><br/><br/>  &quot;Anyway,&quot; Sully said, &quot;I've got just what you need to take your mind off your troubles.&quot;<br/>   &quot;Thirty pounds of chocolate decadence?&quot;<br/>   &quot;A girl.&quot;<br/>   &quot;I don't need a girl.&quot;<br/>   &quot;You do.  Now more than ever.&quot;<br/>   &quot;And what would I tell her my mother did for a living?&quot;<br/>   &quot;Lie.&quot;<br/><br/>Life has not been easy lately for sixteen-year-old Walker.  His father has died, his girlfriend has moved away, and the family finances are in a shambles.  Finally it seems as if things are looking up: Walker has a date with Rachel, the beautiful new girl in his class, and his mother has announced she's gotten a job.  Only not your average, run-of-the-mill mom's job.  Walker's mother is going to work as a stripper.  What if his friends find out?  What if Rachel finds out?  Coincidentally, Walker's dad has left him a piece of land on which Rachel's father is scheming to build a mall, and after seeing the land, Walker goes about the hard work of farming it - and the hard work of being in love for the first time.  Propelled by Ron Koertge's rapid-fire repartee, this is the funny and touching tale of a winningly honest protagonist discovering the perils and rewards of family, friendship, and romance.]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>When a teenage boy's widowed mom gets a job as a stripper, it makes for some tricky social maneuvering in this coming-of-age story from the wonderfully witty Ron Koertge.</strong><br/><br/>  &quot;Anyway,&quot; Sully said, &quot;I've got just what you need to take your mind off your troubles.&quot;<br/>   &quot;Thirty pounds of chocolate decadence?&quot;<br/>   &quot;A girl.&quot;<br/>   &quot;I don't need a girl.&quot;<br/>   &quot;You do.  Now more than ever.&quot;<br/>   &quot;And what would I tell her my mother did for a living?&quot;<br/>   &quot;Lie.&quot;<br/><br/>Life has not been easy lately for sixteen-year-old Walker.  His father has died, his girlfriend has moved away, and the family finances are in a shambles.  Finally it seems as if things are looking up: Walker has a date with Rachel, the beautiful new girl in his class, and his mother has announced she's gotten a job.  Only not your average, run-of-the-mill mom's job.  Walker's mother is going to work as a stripper.  What if his friends find out?  What if Rachel finds out?  Coincidentally, Walker's dad has left him a piece of land on which Rachel's father is scheming to build a mall, and after seeing the land, Walker goes about the hard work of farming it - and the hard work of being in love for the first time.  Propelled by Ron Koertge's rapid-fire repartee, this is the funny and touching tale of a winningly honest protagonist discovering the perils and rewards of family, friendship, and romance.]]>
