    About this ebook

    Fifty-year-old Barb Johnston divorces her cheating husband and moves to bright and lively South America. Adopting a snow-white kitten named Leche and befriending the Latina neighbor women change her life again.

    Then, Leche disappears. The tiny kitten barely survived an earlier stray dog attack and Barb fears the worst. She drives to the police station to file a report.

    Charming and attractive Inspector Rafael Munoz, initially amused at the gringa's insistence that his staff look for her cat, feels his heart melt and can't say no to the beautiful woman with tears in her eyes.

    When he returns the unharmed kitten to Barb's arms and invites her to dinner as payment for his efforts, she reluctantly accepts. She finds him intriguing and far too attractive.

    As Barb grows closer to Gabi, Lore, and Elena, she discovers many cultural differences. Struggling with some of these, she feels they are too readily accepted by her new friends and her heart aches at the stories she hears about the women's husbands and their deplorable behavior. She determines to change the status quo the day she learns Elena's dark and horrible secret.

    Lore and Elena are too afraid to do anything for fear the situation will escalate. Barb and Gabi, however, hatch a plan. What follows is a comedy of errors.

    Will they succeed in changing the men's behavior? Will Barb surrender to Rafael's magnetism? Will their attempts end in further chaos or promote harmony and marital bliss?

    "The Problem with Men" is a fictional, sometimes humorous, sometimes gut-wrenching look at some of the cultural issues men and women face today. Laugh and cry with Barb, Gabi, Lore, and Elena as they try to deal with their clueless men.

    Beverley Scherberger

    Beverley Scherberger was born January 21, 1955, in Ohio, but her family moved to NW Pennsylvania when she was only two. She jokingly says, "I was born in the Midwest in January and never got warm until I moved to Arizona at the age of 44." A sixth-grade English teacher introduced her to the joys of writing short stories and it was a "love affair with words" that blossomed over time. She attended Miami University of Ohio at 39 and enjoyed getting back to academia. Graduating Summa cum Laude in 1999, she promptly fled the cold Midwest winters and settled in Sedona, Arizona, where she lived for the next 13 years. Over 220 published articles later, Beverley has moved from writing non-fiction pieces to the type of writing that she loves to read: fiction. An avid scuba diver, all four of her action/adventure books contain diving mishaps and morph into something more. "STRANDED" is a full-length novel that began as a short story. Beverley says, "I hadn't intended to write a book. It just happened. When a story needs to be told, it finds a way." Her favorite parts of speech are adjectives and verbs. She uses them like artists use pigments and brushes, painting a picture the reader can clearly see. In fact, her goal is to describe scenes so vividly that later, a reader can't recall whether he read the book or saw the movie. She currently resides in Cotacachi, Ecuador, with her beloved cat Squeak.
