Meet Wendy Merrill, a quirky, attractive, in-recovery-from ...well, you can pretty much name it...who, while seemingly on the quest for her perfect mate, keeps falling into manholes. After losing herself in an endless series of attachments, this serial mater comes to see how her relationships with men are emblematic of all of her relationships--with alcohol, food, drugs, family, friends and, most of all, herself.
Wendy is the author of Falling into Manholes: The Memoir of a Bad/Good Girl (Putnam, March 2008). She currently lives above ground and beyond her means in Marin County, CA.
