I found this book in a book box at my local library for a quarter, so I wasn't expecting much - you know, they say you get what you pay for! It turned out be a very witty yet honest look at the changes we all go through and must sometimes deal with in life.
Three generations of women (g'ma, mom, (grand)daughter) come together in this story to learn to live together and accept each other's differences while learning they have many of the same hopes and fears. Erin struggles for teenage independence, Cecilia tries to gain control of her life after divorce, and Belle works through her first year of widowhood. Even Max, the bulldog, has his own issues to deal with - and "indiscretions"!
Well-written, funny, and beautifully reflects the thoughts and perspectives of women in different stages of life. A pleasure to read!
