There’s something special in this book, hidden between the pages yet shared with us at the same time. Author Loretta Nyhan has shared a humorous yet realistic vision of one woman’s reborn hope and persistence, even when faced with the collapse of everything that meant something to her.

This is the situation facing Paige. Her husband is gone, and the company she has worked at for years is heaving with new (and somewhat off-the-wall) changes. Her teenage son is experiencing difficulties, and like many parents, she is not sure what words and actions will fix his issues. Nor does she know how to fix her own.

I began reading this book and didn’t realize how wrapped up I was in the story until I found myself at the final chapter. This is a smart, entertaining book that never gets sassy and deals with adult issues just as we would experience them: with humor, anger, straight-forward thinking, and sometimes a touch of wonder that we did so well at something new. Five stars.
