Gwendolyn & Eddie

About this item

" . . . a thoughtful and highly entertaining tale. " -Alex DeMille, New York Times bestselling author ". . . highly original tale that crackles with fresh insight, Southern humor, and savage irreverence." -Linda Bloodworth Thomason, creator of Designing Women, 2024 recipient of the Writer's Guild Laurel Award for Television Writing Achievement It begins with a monkey. It ends with an inescapable tragedy. In 1957, Gwendolyn is living the domestic dream as the prized wife of the dashing Dr. Paul Stanley Bollinger, with three beautiful, healthy children and a charming Edwardian home in the historic town of Cape Girardeau. Enter Eddie, an inebriated monkey brought home as a poker prize by her equally drunk husband. Thus begins Gwendolyn's yearslong struggle to domesticate two unruly fellas. Eddie is a hilarious handful but no match for Paul Stanley and his increasing penchant for bourbon and nurses
