Bette Noval moves to a small town after the death of her husband to try to being anew. Pursuing a dream of a different kind of lie, she is determined to find pleasure in her simple daily routines. Among those who help her in both expected and unexpected ways are the ten-year olf boy next door, three wild woman friends from her college days, a 20-year-old who is struggling to find his place in the world, and a handsome man ready for love. A compassionate tale of a woman starting her life over...Quietly, and gracefully, Berg shows a woman emerging...with a new sense of purpose. New York Times Bestseller
