" This is a women's fiction novel about a 50-ish woman putting her life back together after a devastating divorce virtually identical to what happened to the author herself. (I heard Smith speak once, and she told the story. The basic facts are the same--husband sends them both into bankruptcy by spending hundreds of thousands of $$ on hookers, takes up with bimbo, etc. Beyond that, I believe there is little to no correspondence.) Heroine has to move back home because she can't afford anything better, reconnects with old friends (and enemies), learns to respect herself again, etc., etc. It's a good story with lots of that Southern feel and family dynamics and even some nice romance thrown in. But the main story is how the heroine recovers herself. Good read. "
