Ten adventures of Scooby and the gang.

After having been a good girl and following her mother''s advice to snag a husband before she became a twenty-something spinster, Barbara Slate realized that her Mr. Right was actually Mr. Wrong and that she was living her life according to everyone''s rules but her own. After twelve years of an unblissful marriage, she made her escape. Now this accomplished comic artist lets it all out in a savagely funny and emotionally honest fictional narrative. Jo, her stand-in protagonist, is a successful wedding photographer (of all things) who has been dumped by her husband and desperately needs to get on with her life.

Eventually she realizes that she must stop listening to what everybody else tells her and follow her own voice instead. Jo''s struggle with female guilt and her quest for self-awareness, told in a series of hilarious panels, is the perfect book for any woman needing to take back control of her life, or remembering when she did.
