The one that fills the bill for me is, Anything Can Happen, by George and Helen Papashvily. It is the story of a Russian immigrant during the 30's or 40's and what happens to him when he emigrates to the United States. It is a delightful, short little book. I laughed out loud several times. And I smiled all the way through it. You can probably get it at a used book store or order it from Amazon.com Marketplace.

However, since she retired, she started reading Nicholas Sparks' books. They are definately sappy chick-lit, but I think every one of his books has been on the top 10 list when it came out. They're not bad to read and also were made into movies that your mom probably saw. I would recommend "A Walk to Remember" because it was my favorite! "The Notebook" and "Message in a Bottle" have also been made into movies. My mom doesn’t ever read and also enjoys movies with Meg Ryan and Diane Keaton.

"Queen Bee" is about a 50 year old woman who has just been divorced due to the fact that dear hubby has traded in for a younger Vegas model. She is now faced with the fact that she will have to return home to live with her overbearing and controlling 80 something year old mother, her father, her senile uncle, who believes a miniature cannibal lives under the table, and her aunt. She has to start over, new job, new friends, and a new outlook on life during the midst of menopause and hot flashes of the mas caliente variety. I was in my late twenties when I read it, and I laughed out loud numerous times. I recommend it to everyone. The Red Hat Club and The Red Hat Club Rides Again are both good books, about a group of ladies...southern belles, that have known each other for the majority of their lives. They have been through it all together, marriages, children, grandchildren, but what will they do when one of the women needs them to pull together to help her through a cheating hubby or a dear friend is in desperate need. Hold on to your hats ladies, because it's about to get crazy! Again both are good books, but "Queen Bee" was great!
