Meredith Maran had a beautiful life in the San Francisco Bay Area: a joyful marriage to the woman of her dreams, a fulfilling career as a freelance writer, a lovingly restored 100-year-old Victorian, a packed social calender full of good times with family and friends. But then, in the course of a year, her marriage crumbled, her best friend died, her dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and she found herself broke and broken. Unexpectedly offered the security of a nine-to-five job, she packs the few belongings that fit into her car and moves to Los Angeles to start all over again - at age sixty. When Meredith arrives in La-La Land, she's captivated by her new city, and equally devastated by heartache, loneliness, and self-doubt. No one, she realizes, will create a new life, or a new and improved self, for her. If she wants to find happiness, friends, and love, she's going to have to do it herself. Meredith Maran has published more than a dozen books, including Why We Write About Ourselves, Why We Write, My Lie, and A Theory of Small Earthquakes.
