NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Hannah examines whether love and commitment are enough to sustain a marriage when two people who have put their individual dreams on ice get a chance to defrost them . . . in fast-moving prose punctuated by snappy asides.”—People

Elizabeth and Jackson Shore married young, raised two daughters, and weathered the storms of youth as they built a family. From a distance, their lives look picture perfect. But after the girls leave home, Jack and Elizabeth quietly drift apart. When Jack accepts a wonderful new job, Elizabeth puts her own needs aside to follow him across the country.

Then tragedy turns Elizabeth’s world upside down. In the aftermath, she questions everything about her life—her choices, her marriage, even her long-forgotten dreams. In a daring move that shocks her husband, friends, and daughters, she lets go of the woman she has become—and reaches out for the woman she wants to be.

This book was a book of looking at what can come after raising your children and still nurturing your marriage. Jack and Birdie have been married for twenty four years and have let the passion drift out of their marriage. Until Birdie leaves Jack and moves back to their home…alone.

After much of the book, Jack realizes what he is missing and…. Read the book to find out the ending. Great story.

This book almost lost me for the first half as I couldn't feel connected to the haracters or as what point the author was tying to make. As a woman in her last years or life I did appreciate the main characters resolve to recreate herself. Book was okay but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to a friend.
