A novel about the adventures and regrets of a Texas Oil Princess's quest for finding love...Melanie St. John is a beautiful, smart, rich Texan daddy's girl born to a bold, high-powered lawyer in the oil business who helps Melanie grow into someone who is both worldly and capable. But once she leaves college and enters the privileged world of dating highly sought-after "men of leisure," she is catapulted in and out of the wealthiest places on the globe while hoping to get married and start a family with one of them. But these mostly destructive love affairs soon become a dynamic exploration of wealth and love, with all the highs and lows. And to complicate matters she is surrounded by her older, free-wheeling, wildcat sister (and her sister's exotic but destructive best friend) as well as her own two completely opposite best friends, and each of them also hopes to find their own Prince Charming-which all only adds to the competition, adventures, and scandals. But throughout each relationship Melanie explores the deeper, more prevalent themes of family, friendship, love, intimacy, freedom, betrayal, motherhood, and most of all, inner strength. Have a book club? Stupid By Choice would be a great topic of discussion about love, family, and relationships! You could even have a themed "T.O.P. Champagne Party" (that's short for "Texas Oil Princess Champagne Party") for it. Visit StupidByChoice.net for menu suggestions and recipes... Have fun!
