Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What if the life you built was no longer the life you wanted? Would it be too late to start again?When Jo-a witty, newly retired academic-leaves her North Carolina home behind to follow her husband in pursuit of his dream job in Seattle, she expects a fresh start. What she gets instead is a twisted ankle and the creeping suspicion that her marriage might not survive the move.Jo is no stranger to upheaval, but this transition is different.
