Wrong Line, Right Connection by Karina Bartow

 

A switch gone wrong turns into love gone right.

 About The Book: It is the turbulent 1960’s when women are expected to go along to get along–in the workplace as well as in marriage—but Mabel Banks has had enough of the abuse and neglect doled out by her husband. She makes the difficult and—for those times—the often unacceptable decision to leave the marriage and start over. It’s not easy but she perseveres with the aid of dear friends, family and her faithful dog. Enter businessman Roy Stentz whose voice sends Mable over the edge as she strives to connect his call to the right location. After a series of misconnections, success is achieved but mortification abounds. Roy does not give up, and neither does Mabel, as he shows her the value of her spirit and drive and courage.  

 Our Review: Writing in the voice of a woman with a brain, something not often accepted in the swinging sixties, author Bartow brings readers into the mind and heart of a courageous, intrepid woman, Mabel Banks—and we are better for it.

 On a scale of 1-5, Wrong Line, Right Connection deserves a 5.
