Searching for Paradise in Parker PA by Kris Radish (Audio book)

Addy and Lucky have been married for a long time and Addy has about had it. She is tired of his antics and is very tired of parking her car outside because Lucky has for years been storing his "treasures" in the garage. Addy has daydreamed about driving through the garage door for a while now. One day she returns home after teaching kids all day and sits in the driveway. This will be the day that she steps on the gas. Before she can act, Lucky comes running out to tell her the good news. He has won a sales contest at work and they are going to Costa Rica on a romantic vacation. So she doesn't plow through the garage door. Trying to have a good attitude, Addy tells herself (and her sister and a few close friends) that maybe this will recharge their marriage. Addy never finds out. The day they are to leave Lucky is carrying the suitcases to the car when Addy (in the middle of a shower) hears a blood-curdling scream. She rushes out (towel only!) to find Lucky in excruciating pain. Lucky is taken to the hospital where he must have a serious back surgery.
Too much togetherness leads both Addy and Lucky to search for understanding and support from their friends. Eventually there is a war between the sexes that spreads throughout Parker PA. This is a light-hearted and entertaining audio book.
