SWEET LIFE
New York Times Bestselling Author Susan Wiggs
A FEATURED ALTERNATE FOR DOUBLEDAY, LITERARY GUILD, AND BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH CLUBS
When her husband, Paul, gets a new job, Marissa Price leaves her career and the island of Manhattan for the island of Hawaii. It seems like the perfect opportunity to save her marriage, regain her sense of self, and reconnect with her eight-year-old daughter, Pansy. But the family’s new house is a fixer-upper at best, her daughter wants to be homeschooled, and what needs fixing the most—her marriage—is the first to crumble when Paul announces he wants some time apart to find himself. Pulled in opposite directions, Marissa is faced with the most important decision of her life—a choice that will define who she is, what she wants, and where her happiness lies.
"It is life near the bone where it is sweetest."
Henry David Thoreau

A WRITER'S DIGEST NOTABLE DEBUT
Live Simply Tip #1: While designing your lifestyle, remember to live…
Deidre McIntosh became famous teaching women to live simply, and simply live - ironic for a woman who thrives on the chaos of a television career, and shares a home with her best friend, the one man she can count on - who happens to be gay.
But when her Seattle cooking-and-lifestyle show gets bumped off the air, and her best guy moves in with his boyfriend, she's left trying to figure out the next segment. Seizing on a chance encounter with an attractive stranger, Deidre accepts his offer to use his country home. She hopes to get away for a while and learn to practice what she preaches. To appreciate life without voice mail. To gain the courage to start again, and take the first slow, cautious steps toward a new kind of success-and maybe even love.
It seems like a simple task. But it may be the hardest thing she's ever done ...
