    About this ebook

    One barb-tongued, big-haired, county coroner, one schoolteacher husband, one Pink Wave.

     

    Joan and Richard appear to have the perfect life; one the uncontested county coroner, the other a successful teacher in a high school.

     

    But the deadly and mysterious Pink Wave appears and changes their lives forever.

     

    As the pink foam tongue alters the path of thousands of lives, can Richard tame Joan's sharp and flippant tongue?

     

    And in the end, who wins?
