But upon her arrival, Cordelia discovers the Chickadee isn’t a motel --- it’s a brothel, housing three women in their sixties known as the Chicks. For decades, Daisy, Arline, and Belinda Sue have entertained the men of Sarsaparilla Falls  --- including the upright Pastor Reed-Smythe. Cordelia can’t just sell the only home the Chicks have known --- especially not after the pastor is found poisoned in Daisy’s bed. Things are heating up in Sarsaparilla Falls, and Cordelia may just have to get a little dirty to make a killer come clean.

After Annabelle Gurwitch received an out-of-the blue diagnosis of Stage 4 lung cancer, an existential dread set in. Annabelle declared herself a cancer slacker. Her motto: no runs, no ribbons, no religion. Told with her signature wit, warmth and gimlet eye, Gurwitch draws inspiration from Greek mythology and TV comedies. In this hilariously and deeply affecting meditation on mortality, the actress and activist illuminates life with chronic disease, inequities in care and celebrates tiny victories, the crusty ends of baguettes, the discreet pleasure of sucking at a hobby and the unshakable bond of female friendship. She upends the notion of living each day as if it were your last, as she discovers you can carpe too much diem, embracing, instead, the extraordinariness of the ordinary.
