"Dear Lucy Silchester, You have an appointment for Monday,
May 30, 2011. Yours sincerely, Life."
Lucy Silchester keeps receiving this appointment card and
sweeping the envelope under the rug. Literally. Instead, she
has busied herself with work (a job she doesn't love),
helping out friends, fixing her car, feeding her cat, seeing
her family, and devoting her time to their life dramas. But
she's stuck in a rut and deluding everyone. Only Lucy knows
the real truth.
Then one day life shows up at her door, in the form of a
rather run-down man in an old suit, who is determined to
bring about change. Life follows Lucy everywhere—the office,
bars—meets her flabbergasted friends, and won't let Lucy off
the hook. What she learns in the process is that some of the
choices she's made, and stories she's told, aren't what they
seem either. Now her stubborn half-truths are going to be
revealed in all their glory . . . unless Lucy learns to tell
the truth about what really matters to her.
