"A laugh-out-loud page-turner for every woman whose Prince Charming turns out to be a frog. If you like Susan Isaacs and Jennifer Weiner, you'll love Sharon Potts!"
—Miriam Auerbach, author of Dirty Harriet and Dirty Harriet Rides Again
Somewhere, over the rainbow... is a giant dumpster. At least, that's how things appear to Frankie Wunder when she discovers her husband's been cheating on her and there are no fairy tale endings on her horizon. But Frankie, a successful South Beach realtor, isn't prepared to leave her future up to the wave of anyone's wand. Determined to find a man who meets her criteria for the perfect husband and father of the child she desperately wants, Frankie goes on a diet, assembles a list of prospective candidates, and immerses herself in the South Beach dating scene. But is a man who's rich, successful, and willing to take care of her what Frankie really wants? As she works her way through a deceitful doctor, a lecherous lawyer, and a rakish real estate executive—the men most South Beach Cinderellas would gladly lose a slipper to—Frankie realizes her dream men are nightmares and her true Prince Charming is nothing like the guy in the fairy tale.

For a Wunderful Smile, Call Dr. Wunder, the billboard read.
Even with the glare of streetlights cutting through the windshield of my Volvo, I recoiled at the sight of six deep cleavages, accentuated by glittering, low-cut gowns. "Madison Avenue comes to cosmetic dentistry," Warren liked to say. But I still wondered why my husband needed a clutch of vamps to advertise tooth whitening and porcelain veneers. A car honked behind me. The traffic light was green. I stepped on the gas and continued home, feeling my six sexy stepsisters sneering at my back.

"South Beach Cinderella is a pleasantly hopeful, solidly crafted and thoroughly escapist romance that still engages some important questions about success, relationships and personal responsibility."
