Synopsis

Eve has her own story, and she's been waiting millennia for Barbara McBride-Smith to tell it. It's the same for Mrs. Noah. Talk about misunderstood or under-appreciated women! McBride-Smith singles them out for her trademark feminist humor.

Following Eve and Mrs. Noah's stories are four of McBride-Smith's retellings of Greek myths from her West Texas good-ole-girl perspective. There's Theseus, one of the heroes of Greek mythology, who turns out to have "a few cogs without a matching ratchet". And then there's Bacchus, the Greek god of wine. He was born without a mother and had a hard childhood. Yet as McBride-Smith explains, he went on to be the patron saint of all women (and all hearty partiers)!
