BOSS LADY

Bahni Turpin delivers this story of feminist entrepreneurship and second chance love with the humor and hilarity it deserves. Toni is a single mother of twins with big dreams. Turpin captures Toni's spunkiness as she balances motherhood and a demanding job with her aspirations for entrepreneurship. Turpin deftly portrays Toni's loving, if chaotic, world, which includes characters ranging from Sylvia, a warm and engaging customer, to Ash, Sylvia's grandson, who is skillfully presented as a potential love interest. When Toni has an opportunity to enter a contest with her start-up idea--and then learns that her ex-husband is on the judging panel--Turpin builds the suspense. Her ability to bring out the nuances of each character enhances this listening experience. M.R. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2024]
