I only have The Art of Mending by Elizabeth Berg; but maybe you'd find others you like too...I  have an Anita Shreve too, which is, in my opinion, similar to her.

I have Never Change and The Pull of the Moon. I haven't read The Pull of the Moon yet, but I could have it done in 2 days, if you'd be willing to wait.  Never Change was so sad, be prepared to cry....

Joy School was the first book of hers that I read.  It's short but precious.  The book that starts the story of these characters is Durable Goods.  I read them in reverse order and was disappointed in Durable Goods.  Maybe I would've liked it had I read it in proper order. 

Anyway, don't know if you've ordered any of the books from the other posts, but I have The Art of Mending.  You can have it for free with a request of any other book on my bookshelf.  I saw where carolceltic has a 4-for-1! deal, but like me she only has one  Elizabeth Berg book (What We Keep).

The other book of Elizabeth Berg's that you don't want to miss is Range of Motion.  (Ever read Breathing Lessons by Anne Tyler or Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbons?  They were both favorites of mine at the time I started reading Elizabeth Berg)
