Finishing school

"Eileen Novak is a forty-nine-year-old divorced hair stylist completing her high school education. Set in St. John's, Newfoundland, in the 1980s and resonating with a vivid sense of place, Finishing School chronicles Eileen's sometimes traumatic, sometimes funny but fully engaged life. She speaks frankly of day-to-day events of her life that sometimes involve uncomfortable encounters, intimate moments and awkward revelations. Unpretentious and down-to-earth, she's free-speaking with her wisdom and opinions and has a sustaining sense of humor."--Back cover.
