Publisher's Synopsis
This is the tale of Amy, her daughter and the women in her family who helped them after Amy's husband abruptly left. It is a story of frequent failures and surprising successes, as Amy starts and loses careers, bumbles through blind dates and travels across the country with her daughter and their giant tabby cat. Though they live in London, Washington D.C., and Chicago, all roads lead back to Amy's hometown of Freeville, a tiny village in upstate New York. With kindness and razor-sharp wit, they welcome Amy and her daughter back weekend after weekend and summer after summer.
