'I was sitting at home yesterday, working on the fourth draft of my suicide note when I got the call . . .'
Olivia Hunt, a Hollywood film executive with a big heart and a sharp tongue, has been fired by her imbecile boss, dumped by her boyfriend and has just discovered evidence of a moustache growing above her lip: who wouldn't be putting the finishing touches on their last words? But when Olivia learns that her sister's life is in grave danger, she takes the next plane home to Ohio.
There she finds her father drinking too much, her mother wringing her hands and, at the centre of the storm, her defiant, buoyant younger sister. Maddie has always driven Olivia crazy. Idealistic and family-orientated, she is as optimistic as Olivia is pessimistic. Even now, when the odds aren't good, Maddie never doubts she'll beat them.
As she races between her sister's bedside and the perils of Hollywood movie-making, Olivia's life becomes a patchwork of tragedy and comedy. Through it all she longs for the man she loved - and lost when he left one day, without a word. Olivia reaches out to him again, and ultimately is faced with a choice that will define who she is and whether they can begin again.
With great affection and humour, 'The True And Outstanding Adventures Of The Hunt Sisters' introduces two young women whose thirst for life will amuse, infuriate and inspire right up to the last unforgettable scene.
