Thirty-six-year-old Sophie Stanton desperately wants to be a good widow- a graceful, composted, Jackie Kennedy kinds of widow. Alas, she is more of the Jack Daniels kind. Self-medicating with ice cream for breakfast, breaking down at the supermarket, and showing up to work in her bathrobe and bunny slippers- soon she's not only lost her husbnad, but her job, house... and waistline. With humor and chutzpah Sophie leaves town, determined to reinvent her life. But starting over has its own hurdles... (from back of book)
