How do you heal a broken heart? In Maribeth's case, an emergency double bypass is the first step, but getting home to her husband and 4-year-old twins doesn't help lessen the stress. So Maribeth just. . . goes. She finds herself in Pittsburgh, where she confronts the baggage she's been avoiding: her inability to ask for help, her resentments, the unknowns of her adoption. 
 She makes friends and makes a new life while working on healing the old one. It's a cathartic story, wish fulfilment in a way (who among us WOULDN'T want to walk away from life for a while?), heartbreaking and heart-healing all at once. Not a particularly heavy read--a book for a summer afternoon supervising on the playground.
