Amazon Description:

After the sudden death of her husband, Anna Rainey is emotionally unable to return to the home they shared. Instead she becomes a perpetual house guestgoing from friend to friend, seeking the solace and security in their lives that she no longer feels in her own. Each friend offers a different kind of comfort. Offers of advice are everywhere: join a support group, reconnect with family, find a new man. But these remedies fall flat. Ultimately Anna’s survival — hard-won and precious — comes in her own time. Lorna J. Cook creates a strong and endearing voice in the character of Anna and keeps the reader rooting for her until she finally finds the strength to go home.
