A Novel

"Refreshingly honest, winsomely self-deprecating, Brownrigg's glib yet contrite heroine evinces both a saucy innocence and tortured anguish.

A book for grown-ups who have lived through some things and now know better. I nodded and laughed (and squirmed) the whole time I was reading it--it exactly captures how hard it is to keep loving someone through the mundane challenges of everyday existence.

This novel's story is one that is bound by truth and the tensions of living not only with one's own past but that of one's partners; new and old. I found myself stopping and thinking as scenes and dialogue brought me face to face with clear eyed truth.
