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.
