The Bikini Car Wash

"Morsi's latest is an unsentimental but compassionate peek into the life and psyche of a fiercely independent yet vulnerable woman. The combination of timely subject matter, humor and powerful emotion make it a winner from the first page."

Visit Plainview: see the sights!

After Andrea Wolkowicz abandons corporate life to help care for her sister, she quickly wears out the want ads in their rust-belt hometown. Time to be her own boss.

Every mogul knows the best idea is an old idea with a new twist. So Andy proudly revives her father's business: an old-fashioned car wash...staffed entirely by bikini-clad women. That ought to get traffic-and blood-flowing on Grosvenor Street!

This gutsy gimmick soon has the whole town in a lather, and not necessarily in a good way.

Scandalized citizens are howling, neighboring businesses are worried. But straitlaced grocery-store owner Pete Guthrie is definitely intrigued. He knows it's hard to run a small business in a big-box world. To him, Andy's brains and bravery are as alluring as the bikini she calls business attire.

In this story of life, love and small business, it's not just the swimsuits that are revealing.
