Gigi Levangie Grazer, the New York Times bestselling
author of The Starter Wife, returns with a hilarious
and spirited tale of love—both lost and found.
L.A. is no place for widows. This is what
forty-four-year-old Hannah Bernal quickly discovers after
the tragic death of her handsome and loving husband, John.
Misery and red-rimmed eyes are little tolerated in the land
of the beautiful. But life stumbles on: Hannah’s sweet
three-year-old daughter, Ellie, needs to be dropped off at
her overpriced preschool, while Hannah herself must get back
to work in order to pay the bills on “Casa Sugar,” the
charming Spanish-styled bungalow they call home.
Fortunately, Hannah has her “Grief Team” for
emotional support: earth mother and fanatical animal lover
Chloe, who finds a potential blog post in every moment;
aspiring actress Aimee, who has her cosmetic surgeon on
speed dial; and Jay, Hannah’s TV producing partner, who has
a penchant for Mr. Wrong. But after a series of mishaps and
bizarre occurrences, one of which finds Hannah in a posh
Santa Monica jail cell, her friends start to fear for her
sanity. To make matters worse, John left their financial
affairs in a disastrous state. And when Hannah is
dramatically fired from her latest producing gig, she finds
herself in danger of losing her house, her daughter, and her
mind.
One night, standing in her backyard
under a majestic avocado tree, in the throes of grief,
Hannah breaks down and asks, “Why?” The answer that comes
back—Why not?—begins an astounding journey of
discovery and transformation that leads Hannah to her own
truly extraordinary life after death.
