FF Staff "Gift Pick" for Womens Fiction
From the bestselling author of The Sunday List of
Dreams and Annie Freeman’s Fabulous Traveling Funeral
comes a poignant, funny, and uplifting novel of a woman
at midlife whose search for happiness within her
marriage—and within herself—turns a whole town upside
down.
After twenty-eight years of marriage to
her husband Lucky, Addy Lipton feels anything but happily
married. In fact, just thinking of their garage, filled to
the brim with Lucky’s useless junk collection, drives Addy
dangerously close to plowing her car through it. But when
Lucky wins a trip to paradise—aka Costa Rica—Addy has a
faint hope they may be able to turn things around. Or maybe
they won’t. Either way, Addy never gets the chance to find
out.
On the morning of their departure, Lucky
fractures his back tossing their luggage into his truck.
Now, with the man she feels she barely knows anymore parked
indefinitely on her couch, Addy can’t see their already
shaky relationship surviving much longer. It’s time to make
some big changes—and some drastic choices.
With the
love and support of her devoutly single sister Hell and her
workout friends, the Sweat-hers, Addy begins a crusade to
revive her dreams—and she takes the women of Parker along
for the ride. Soon the men will realize they’ll have to step
up to the plate to keep their wives and lovers happy. And
Addy will have to decide if the paradise she’s creating in
Parker is big enough for two....
Filled with
small-town characters and big-time soul searching, this
sparkling and inspirational tale will hit you where you
live—and show you that just as happiness can get buried
beneath the jumble of years, it can be rediscovered…if you
look hard enough for it within your heart.
