Book summarySamantha Morrow's husband divorces her, and Samantha must take in lodgers to pay the mortgage on her elaborate house. Her experiences enable her to find out who she really is, to become more independent, and even--surprisingly--to reject a chance to reclaim her old lifeMedia Reviews"Skillfully crafted, with a fluidity and snap that will delight Berg's fans but, when all is said and done, a distressingly familiar story." -- Kirkus "Elizabeth Berg's new novel is about what happens when a good woman gets dumped. We've been here before in recent (and not-so-recent) fiction, but Berg's narrative is agile and freshly observed....The novel's happy ending feels earned instead of simply tacked on." -- Barbara Fisher, New York Times Book Review "Though Berg's conclusion seems a little too easy, this is a hopeful book, and one takes pleasure in seeing Samantha make her way." -- Amy Timberlake, Book Publisher NotesStruggling to come to terms with her husband's abandonment, Samantha sets out to construct a new life for herself and her eleven-year-old son and to rediscover her own identity, which had been lost in her attempts to save her marriage.
