Just Call Me Lady: A Romantic Comedy
Take an average looking thirty-two-year-old woman, an Internet typing blunder, a group of doting gay man, a social climbing gorgeous Latin and a humble British photographer and you have Just Call Me Lady. With the help of her “Queer Eye” team, Connie Botello blossoms and a web of assumptions and comic faux pas ensues when she buys an online Noble Title and assumes the persona of Lady Constance Widford of Exeter, England. Love, deception, exotic locations, arrests, celebrity all complicate this once small-town girl’s life with a lovely redemptive conclusion.
Reviews For "Just Call Me Lady"
“Sherry Halperin is a master storyteller. This
funny, poignant tale of friendship, romance, and self-discovery is a joy to read. Artfully woven into this fantasy of becoming a “Lady” is the essence of transformational self-acceptance. Ms. Halperin offers a deep appreciation and understanding of a woman’s experience as she searches for happiness and to find contentment in herself.”
Dale Atkins, PhD, Psychologist, Author, frequent guest expert on The Today Show.
“Author Sherry Halperin takes her heroine on an
adventure that is only a fantasy to most of us. An Eliza
Doolittle transformation, royal titles, elbowing with the
rich and famous and European travels all play a part in
Connie's journey of self-discovery. It's a Hallmark
movie just waiting to be made!!”

“What a delightful read! Sherry Halperin’s heroine
exuberantly seizes a chance at experiencing the
glamourous life of royalty and discovers, braving
innumerable obstacles and challenges, the veracity of
the adage “be careful what you wish for.” This
adventurous and humorous escapade subtly guides our
heroine through a captivating journey of self-exploration, evaluation of life values and the real
meaning of love. Great fun."
Emily Perl Kingsley, Former Sesame Street writer and multiple Emmy Award winner
“Sherry Halperin has written a hilarious escape comedy
about love and how to find it. What could be a better
setting than an art gallery in the desert, a fantasy make-over and European escapades? I loved following the heroine on her journey. The writing is very conversational and I felt like I was listening to my best friend talking about her life! I couldn't put it down.
Should be a movie! Just what we all need now.”
