Finalist for the 2001 Thurber Prize for American Humor a Rocky Mountain News (Denver) Best Book of the YearMillions of people dream of abandoning the city routine for a simple country life. Jim Mullen was not one of them. He loved his Manhattan existence: parties, openings, movie screenings. He could walk to hundreds of restaurants, waste entire afternoons at the Film Forum, people-watch from his window. Then, one day, calamity.
His wife quits smoking and buys a weekend house in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York -- in a tiny town diametrically opposed to Manhattan in every way. Slowly, however, the man who once boasted, Life is just a cab away, begins to warm to the place -- manure and compost and strangers who wave and all -- and to embrace the kind of life that once gave him the shakes.

Absolute favorite!
Format: Kindle
1st Iove that it is a standalone.
Duets kill me because the conflict in-between is so stressful. I just want happiness soon haha
I was hoping Katy would be the long lost sister...but I am so glad it wasn't what I thought.
Lyssa will always be my favorite in this whole damn universe. "Why the hell would I need therapy?" Hahaa gold!
I need more of your books. Sigh...I have read every single of of them. What a journey!

another excellent story
Format: Kindle
The author recommends reading her prior mafia books and I agree. With each book she builds on the saga, picking up where the last left off, adding new characters but keeping the old. This book has several stories woven in, but 2 strong and exciting new characters. The connection between these women is electric, the story dynamic and action exciting. I hope these tales continue!
