An inspirational collection of essays about starting over in
midlife by a witty, original voice who was co-host of The Al
Franken Show and the host of The Midday Show on Minnesota
public radio.Katherine Lanpher, whose essays have appeared
in the New York Times and More magazine, officially moved to
Manhattan on a leap day, transferring from a rooted life in
the Midwest to a new job, a new city, and a new sense of who
she was. Reinvention is a tricky business, and starting over
in the middle of life isnt for the faint of heart. Katherine
Lanpher has written a book chronicling how her past life and
loves have prepared her for unexpected discoveries in her
new home. Lanpher looks back on her marriage, her early days
in newspapers, and her childhood in the Midwest.And, with
startling insight she examines her new worldhow beauty is
defined in New York, how the landscape differs from the
Midwest, and how good food and books have been constants in
her life. The tone of her essays mixes the emotional depth
of Anna Quindlen with the quirky wit of David Sedaris.
