The story of one woman's struggle to come to terms with divorce...Berg's graceful prose is laced with clear-eyed insights about the way conventional wisdom colors our perceptions...Her account of how Sam learns to...get in touch with her own needs and feelings is deft and inspiring.

The details and emotions in OPEN HOUSE are sometimes heartwrenching, sometimes hilarious.

Smart, funny, and satisfying...Bringing up a child on your own. Dating again. Building a new life. All are familiar themes in separation and divorce, but that doesn't mean Sam is prepared for any of them.
