Someone Wrote A Potential Sequel to The Stepford Wives

Just found this on Amazon.ca: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00GW5 ... bl_vppi_i0

No sex, but it explores a potential future for the gynoids of the original story post-first movie.

But was it good? The synopsis makes it sound like a trite revenge story. If I'm gonna pay for it, it has to be a bit deeper.

No, it's no revenge story. What happens is that the men who had the gynoids created all died off, forcing the girls (whose self-preservation programming simply overwhelmed orders given to them to report to the men's club and be destroyed) to effectively drop everything and flee to California. Joanna is the first to do this, then arranges to create a safe haven for the other gynoids by revitalizing a defunct winery; by the time the Cold War ends (the story is set based on when the movie came out), they've created a very self-sufficient community out of sight and mind.

Luck makes things go awry when Joanna's and Bonnie's step-sons (who are a couple) discover the winery in 2015, then learn the awful truth of what happened to their birth mothers. The majority of the story after that is the boys rediscovering their feelings for their step-mothers, which drives them to make concessions to overwhelm the gynoids' program-driven fear of being discovered; such conflicts with their "mothering program" which made them such fantastic homemakers in the first place.
