Novelist and filmmaker Mari SanGiovanni introduces readers to the irrepressible Liddy-Jean Carpenter, a matchmaker with special talents who will charm readers with her wit, wisdom, and sensibilities in this warm, enchanting love-is-love office romance.

 

Liddy-Jean Carpenter has learning disabilities. But she also has a surprisingly genius plan.

While she spends her days doing minor office tasks with nobody paying attention, she sees how badly the wand-waving big boss treats the Marketing Department worker bees. So, she takes lots of notes for a business book to teach bosses to be better.

While compiling pages of bad behavior notes, she finds she likes office-mate Rose and Rose’s new friend Jenny. But she doesn’t like Rose’s creepy boyfriend. So how can she save Rose?

Liddy-Jean knows with certainty that love is love, and she concludes that Rose should be with Jenny, bosses should do better, and everybody needs the services of Liddy-Jean, Marketing Queen.

From the Book

Liddy-Jean is aware of her disabilities and that she thinks differently than others. She also knows people have called her cruel names, and misjudged her. But Liddy-Jean is not without her flaws. She doesn’t want to share her new friends when she learns another young lady similar to herself will be coming to work in the same department, she says: “One slow person for each department is plenty. Can we send her to work in the shipping department….slow people can move boxes, I have seen them.”
