Her mother, Suzanne, is convinced that Mollys news is history repeating herself and that shes about to become a thirty-six-year-old grandmother. Suzannes mother, Ava, develops a case of impending great-grandmother feverthat is, when shes not spying on the new next-door neighbor, Buddy McKinley, who turns out to be a blast from her past.Decades earlier, Buddy was the business partner of Avas late husband, as well as his best friend during the Vietnam War. Ava feels she has good reasons for hating Buddyshe blames him for the fall of their business, an Irish pub that was a staple of the community. The loss not only destroyed her husband but also pushed her headfirst into the vodka bottle.Suzanne eventually finds out that Buddy and Avas past goes back much further than either has admitted. She begins to wonder whether Ava truly hates Buddy, or whether her feelings are much more complicated, as are her own when Molly announces that shes not pregnant, but gay.Based on the award-winning play, She Effin' Hates Me is about three women relearning to love one another for who they are and more importantly, for who theyre not.Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fictionnovels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more.
