Home Author Archive For Librarians Authors: Get Included Lesley Dormen 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 tells—the 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 love—with troublesome men, her wild best friend, and her adopted New York City—more 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." What do you think? I'd love to hear about your own "best place to be". Enter to win at ldormen@mac.com and I'll send a book to five intriguing replies. And visit my website lesleydormen.com. Most of all, enjoy THE BEST PLACE TO BE. And keep reading! Yours, Lesley Dormen TOP OF PAGE BACK TO MAIN PAGE © 2005 by AuthorBuzz
