review 1: Wonderful story! The book centers on 39-year old Willow whose adult life has been greatly influenced by a terrible childhood event. She has felt mostly unloved and worse, unloveable. Her job is overly demanding, she years for a man who doesn't really notice her, and in the midst of a particularly chaotic day, her ex-stepdaughter shows up on her doorstep pregnant and alone.All of these events culminate in forcing Willow to examine her life, face her demons, and choose to embrace who she is and what she wants out of her life.The events in her life will make you laugh and cry as Willow faces her past and embraces her future.
review 2: i am not sure how this book came into my possession since I avoid this genre usually but I wanted some variety so I read it. What
... moreI initially took to be a story about a woman with serious self esteem issues who pacified her problems with a lot of alcohol and indiscriminate sex took a turn for the better about 2/3 of the way into the book. The characters became three dimensional, like-able and worthwhile. If I happen to come across the author again in a serendipitous way I might read more of her work. less
