Moodswing Manifesto
By J.J. Ferrer & Bunkie Lynn
What Happens When Five Middle-Aged Friends Try to Recapture
the Dreams of Their Youth? (Wo)menopausal Madness!

This rollicking celebration of womanhood, motherhood, and all things female—including the hazards of hormones, why chocolate is a food group, fifty ways to make dinner without really cooking, and the innumerable joys of carpool, will make you laugh out loud, forget your hot flashes, and trade in your control-top panty hose for a sequin guitar strap!

When old feelings of jealousy and betrayal mix with new symptoms of middle age, moods aren't the only thing swinging! Divorced, childless, facing fifty, and tired of being mistaken for Britney Spears’ mom, has-been country diva Hayley Spears reluctantly accepts a small-town summer tour that kicks off with her 30th high school reunion. Her neglect of her four best friends and her memories of the boy she left behind in tiny Moss Heap, Mississippi, make Hayley wary of returning home. But a menopausal meltdown in the ladies' room brings the girlfriends together again and, after a flawless impromptu performance of the song they sang at graduation–the song Hayley turned into a chart-topping hit–she impulsively invites her gal pals to join her on tour. The women revel in their belated fifteen minutes of fame, until a series of mishaps convinces them that their simple lives are far richer than they realized. Shattering news about one of the women forces Hayley to reassess her priorities in life, and her place in the world.
