Dear Reader,
O, the Oprah magazine said this about Grace Hanford, my heroine: "Following Grace through the maze of midlife and youth...is a journey that is smack-your-forehead familiar, and so crazily funny you could cry."
THE BEST PLACE TO BE is a laugh and cry book-- like life. Imagine looking through your best friend's photo album, seeing her from age 15 to fiftysomething, listening to the crazy stories she tellsthe good, the bad, the ugly. '[Grace] calls her own bluff and steps deftly around self-pity as if it were a broken place in the sidewalk," said the Chicago Tribune.
You know Grace. She's a daughter, a stepdaughter, a girlfriend, a sister, a sister-in-law, a wife, a stepmother and an orphan. She's fallen in and out of lovewith troublesome men, her wild best friend, and her adopted New York Citymore times than she can count.
Elle magazine's Reader's Prize called Grace "Virginia Woolf meets Candace Bushnell." The New York Times Book Review called her stories "delightfully, crushingly funny."
