It's Not Your Mother's Bridge Club
An estimated 7 million people regularly play the dice game known as bunko. Chances are you either belong to a bunko group or dice club, or you know someone who does. "It’s Not Your Mother’s Bridge Club" is an inside look at one such group, The Snake Eyes Dice Club, a spicy collection of middle-aged, middle-class women living in the desert Southwest and in the middle of each other’s lives. The characters are colorful and funny as they talk about their lives and their opinions of club members. You’ll feel the group evolve over the course of one year as together they face both mundane and dramatic obstacles. Among the women of the Club, you’re sure to find your sister, your wife, your friend or neighbor—maybe even your mother.
“Michele VanOrt Cozzens rolls the dice, shuffles the cards, and stirs up a mixed bag of emotions with her clever plot twists and rich characters. Whether you play Bunko, Bridge, or Scrabble, you’ll relate to Cozzens’ warm-hearted, funny, and intimate portrayal of the women’s gaming clubs springing up around the world."
—Robin Meloy Goldsby, author of "Piano Girl" and "Rhythm"
“Cozzens is at her best as she seamlessly allows the reader intimate access to the relationships, struggles, and triumphs of eight women. This is a must read for men who crave insight into the inner-sanctum of the most intoxicating of energies: the sacred feminine.”
—J.A. Leary, author of "The Angel Hunter"
