Platinum Palms

CA$24.99

At Platinum Palms, retirement comes with every creature comfort one could want in the winter of life. And one very important rule: no children allowed!

Cookie Bregman, Ruthie Vijay-Silverberg, and Ethel Gold—better known as the Boca Bitches—rule the gated retirement community of Platinum Palms with diamond-encrusted fists and hearts full of love. Their days are filled with spas, cocktails, gossip, late-night gambling, and the occasional illicit swingers’ party.

But when a baby intended for Cookie is accidentally left on her arch nemesis’s doorstep, their pampered lives are turned upside down. Determined to protect the infant, the three friends must outwit nosy neighbours, dodge the community board, and hide one tiny rule-breaker.

Heartwarming and hilarious, Platinum Palms is a joyful celebration of friendship, found family, and the reminder that sometimes rules must be broken to protect those we love.

NAOMI ELANA ZENER is the author of Deathbed Dime$ (2014; Iguana Books), a lawyer, and the very tired shared employee of her three children who are the boss of her. But she is the boss of her husband. Naomi has written for Huffington Post, Kveller, Erica Ehm's Yummy Mummy Club.
