Join Book Club Girl as she welcomes Sonya Sones, author of The Hunchback of Neiman Marcus: A Story About Marriage, Motherhood and Mayhem--a funny, fierce, and piercingly honest coming-of-middle-age story about falling apart and putting yourself back together.
My name is Holly. This story is about me— a writer who's way behind on her deadline.
But, honestly, how can I concentrate on my work when my fiftieth birthday's rushing at me like a freight train,
my hormones are making me feel like a Szechuan flambé, and my eighty-year-old mother's biting her nurses?
Not to mention the fact that my daughter's just begun applying to colleges (none of which are within a thousand-mile radius of home),
and lately my husband's been such an irritating, finger-pointing stinker that I've found myself dreaming of ways to spend his insurance money . . .
My name is Holly. This book tells my story— a coming-of-middle-age story.
