The Falcon Five

“What is it?” asked Allie.“I’m not a huge fan of superhero movies,” I began “But I don’t remember the heroes shooting tequila before going on a mission.” THE FALCON FIVE details the struggle of one woman’s futile efforts to fit inside the stay-at-home-mom, cookie-baking, laundry-folding, poopy-diaper, children-are-my-life mold. By the time we meet Zoe Lewis, she’s depressed, guilty, and completely disconnected from her husband and life as she knows it. But the gathering over dinner among four funny, brilliant, style-conscious women takes a bizarre turn as the women notice strange and fantastic phenomena when they clink glasses during a toast. When the fifth friend never shows, Zoe and the girls embark on a wild ride of emerging superpowers, sinister – yet good looking -- bad guys, and very pricey shoes as they search for their missing friend. Zoe also embarks on her own private journey of self actualization, learning to value herself as a vibrant woman, a wife, a mother and now an accidental superhero.
