For those looking for a nice gentle
read - look no further (well, you will have to eventually I suppose...) I would
not consider this book to be something that has the capacity to truly impact
your life or cause a great and wonderful shift in your perspective; but it does
serve to tease out that knowledge that we all know deep-down...but too often
chose to ignore: That we must make the most out of our life. This latest book
by author Elizabeth Berg takes readers on a journey filled with quirky
characters, glimpses of Americana, and a detour down that road some never
travel; but many wish they had!
This story is narrated in the first
person by the character Cece (a talented motivational speaker and amateur
fortune-teller) who has found herself at a major cross-roads in her life.
Grieving her recently deceased best friend Penny (who may or may not still
speak to her at times); Cece finds the courage to make changes in her life that
she had long put-off. In doing so; she finds her fortune is not the money in
her bank account or the abundance of heirloom quilts she covets; but in the
people she learns to love.
