Vivian Lawson’s fantasy of being the perfect 1950s suburban housewife
is shattered when an uncontrollable event changes her life forever.

Destitute and left to fend for herself in a man’s world, she searches her New England town unable to find a job. With nowhere to turn, Vivian takes the advice of her wisecracking best friend, Babs, and reluctantly becomes a Tupperware lady.

Vivian struggles with low self-esteem as well as stage fright but with the support of Babs' lovesick brother, Stew, and the creator of Tupperware’s Home Party Plan system, Brownie Wise, she may just find the strength to
conquer her inner demons and take control of her life.

A story of empowerment, Leftovers is a delectable romantic dramedy with an inspirational journey that reveals to us what can be achieved by using one’s guts, determination and a little bit of a self-deprecating humor.

Review by: Eric Prime on July 17, 2012 :
I really enjoyed Wooten's previous books and was excited to read this newer one. It was enjoyable enough however I felt the characters were rather simple and the storyline predictable. It also didn't have the humor of his other previous books. While it was a decent read I would recommend reading his "Fruit Cocktail" book instead.
