When seventy-year-old Charlotte Perkins submits a sexy essay to the "Become a Jetsetter" contest, s…

"Somehow her later years had become a mirror of her lonely childhood."

-Amanda Eyre Ward, The Jetsetters

"Somehow she'd labeled those days a humiliation. She'd based her choices--her giant house, her daughters' schools, her constant attention to family life--on erecting a wall between her grim childhood and her bright future. But she was beginning to see that the camaraderie with her brother and sister, the yummy microwaved dinners, the way they'd crowd around the small TV to watch Family Feud, yelling out answers--in some ways, those days had been wonderful. She promised herself now: it will be okay."
