In this New York Times-bestselling author's "very funny novel," a frustrated woman gets the ultimate makeover--by making an unwitting deal with the devil (Library Journal).   Florida real estate agent Barbara Chessner is down on her luck, up several dress sizes, drowning herself in Bloody Marys--and, worst of all, has just been dumped by her husband for a blonde TV weatherperson. Tired of living the life of a woman in a "before" ad, Barbara stumbles outside in the midst of a thunderstorm and beseeches heaven to help her--unaware that someone diabolical might be listening . . .   Barbara wakes up with golden hair (not her own premature gray), perfect pitch (she's tone deaf), a strange black dog (registered to her), no double chin, a waistline . . . and definite cleavage! Talk about a good night's sleep!   Even more bizarre and seemingly wonderful things begin to happen to Barbara, including some potential new romances, and her friends at the real estate agency attribute the inexplicable to everything from hot flashes to dark forces. Not even she knows what the devil is going on. But when she finds out, all hell is going to break loose . . .   "Barbara is a terrific character--clever, witty, and truly likable." --Library Journal   "Sly, smart-mouthed fun." --People   "Fiendishly funny." --Booklist… (more)
