The author of CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FAT GIRL --- optioned for HBO --- returns with the hilarious and heartfelt story of a woman who must learn how to be the heroine of her own life --- a journey that will teach her priceless lessons about love, friendship, family, work and her own heart. 

Grace Hawkes has not spoken to her previously tight-knit family since her mother's sudden death five years ago. Well, most of the family was tight-knit --- her father walked out on them when she was 13 and she and her two brothers and sister bonded together even closer with their mother as a result.
