In Flashes, a perimenopausal Michelle Churchill swims her way through uncontrollable hot flashes as well as a sea of men in her search for Mr. Right and surprisingly discovers the most important person of all...herself. This sparkling and witty memoir has the charm and self-questioning of Bridget Jones's Diary mixed with the lust and sassiness of Sex And The City. Could a television series be on the horizon? Hollywood, take notice!
