Dopey Women
by Laura Barnard
Sadie had a bumpy upbringing but sheβs still managed to drag herself out and carve a career for herself. Β That all comes crashing down when she, along with the women she manages; Mags, Lexi & Steph, get made redundant. Β Sheβs screwed. In hindsight she shouldnβt have attacked her colleague in a moment of rage. Β There goes the reference.
Β
When they all bump into each other a few months later at the job centre Sadie finds sheβs not the only one in a hole. Β Stephβs boyfriend has left her holding the baby, Lexiβs stuck in an abusive relationship and poor Mags has breast cancer. Β Theyβre all struggling to keep on top of their bills. Β They all need money to get out of their situations, its as simple as that. Β
Β
Mags mentions that some women find marijuana helps ease the sickness caused by chemo. Β With the desperation mounting and the coffee spurring them on they somehow decide to start growing it. Β Theyβre only going to sell to ladies going through chemo, so its not too bad, right? Β Theyβre not going to be proper drug dealers. Β And its only temporary.Β
Β
They didnβt bet on the business taking off so well though. Β Before they know it theyβve got orders coming out of their ears, a sexy detective on their trail, suspicious neighbours and drug dealers angry theyβre working on their patch. Β Β
Β
Can Sadie pull them out of this dangerous world theyβve found themselves in? Β And can she do it before they end up in prison? Β
