review 1: Maybe it's just that I don't like memoir, for the most part. The writing is good but I found the premise of this book to be self-indulgent and the two writers to be pretty flat. Their descriptions of place were shallow. The book was hard to finish. There were things said in the book that I identified with and it got me thinking about things I hadn't spent time thinking about before. That, combined with the writing, made it salvageable. It was my intention to read it twice before book group, but I won't put myself through that.
review 2: "Because there are few things the world can throw at you that will cause you more grief than what you manage to throw at yourself.""After a long enough drought, you can get drunk on a thimbleful of authenticity.""You can't move
... moreon from a lie, or heal from something you refuse to even acknowledge exists.""You stick a perfectionist who hates domestic stuff in a fixer-upper and what you get is someone constantly obsessing on things she isn't going to do.""Most of us can't imagine women with strong personalities... not speaking up for ourselves. But all of us learned very early on that honesty and boldness cost us relationships." less

Not as good as the first book but it was good to read mother and daughter are doing well.

This book was more relational than travel; I thought it okay.

Started strong, got a little tiresome toward the end.
