This is a beautifully written story of a woman's journey to find herself again after the loss of her twenty-five year marriage and her job. Losing them both to her assistant doesn't help. In addition to dealing with her loss, she must struggle to help her two twenty-something children deal with their parent's seperation and father's behavior, as well as caring for her ailing mother. Despite this, this is NOT a depressing book. Rose's feelings are something everyone experiences at some point in their life. But her gradual sense of renewal and purpose is wonderfully written and guarenteed to make you want to stand up and cheer. I have read this book many, many times and loved it every single time, which is the best recommendation I can give it.

I loved the way this book was written. It is funny and has alot of heart. This is the kind of book you want to curl up with and not stop reading until you have finished. It is a book that you will think about and smile when you are driving down the road after you have finished. This author was well worth the time i spent with her pages.

Thoughtful, funny, quirky novel about a forty-something wife and mother whose husband needs to "find himself"...
