Synopsis
Since the love of her life betrayed her, Meg has had a hard time putting into practice her Hokey-Pokey Theory of Life, which demands that you put your whole self in. What's the point of opening yourself up if your heart comes back a little more broken each time; These days, Meg and her nine-year-old son Henry are taking on the world in their own lively way, and it's enough.
Then Meg unexpectedly finds love in the form of an exotically handsome Iranian-American who befriends her and Henry over a game of chess in a coffee shop. When Meg takes another leap of faith, she begins to discover that in order to heal you have to hurt, but most of all, you have to live your life and put your whole self in -- to life, to love, to whatever comes your way.

About the Author
A native of Wisconsin, Laura Fitzgerald lives in Arizona with her husband, who is of Iranian descent, and their two children. Her favorite part of being an author is interacting with readers and attending book clubs by phone and in person.
From AudioFile
Ten years ago, Meg Clark's husband, her high school sweetheart, left her after he learned she was pregnant. Since then, Meg has focused on raising her son, Henry, and on teaching kindergarten. She has been comfortable with her routine and her rule of no dating--until a chance meeting with the handsome Ahmed Bourhani forces her to consider opening her long-closed heart. Julia Whelan's enthusiastic narration fits the genre of light women's fiction but is sometimes more suited to the voices of the children and the story's happier moments than to the scenes in which Meg deals with her lack of trust. The listener never completely loses the sense of being read to as Whelan's inflections stray close to being too dramatic. C.B.L. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
