Summary:
"The voice behind the popular advice column "Ask Amy" and the author of The Mighty Queens of Freeville returns with her follow-up memoir of family, second chances and finding love. Exploring central themes of romance, death, parenting, self-care, and spiritual awakening, this touching and heartfelt homage speaks to all who have faced challenges in the wake of life's twists and turns. From finding love in middle-age to her storied experience with stepparenting to overcoming disordered eating to her final moments spent with her late mother, Dickinson's trademark humorous tone delivers punch and wit that will empower, entertain, and heal. Amy Dickinson writes the syndicated "Ask Amy" newspaper advice column, which replaced the Ann Landers column in 2003"--Provided by publisher.
