Publisher Description
When 36-year-old Sophie Stanton's husband dies of cancer, she desperately wants to be a graceful, composed Jackie Kennedy kind of widow. Alas, Sophie is more of a Jack Daniels kind. Adding her job and her waistline to her list of things lost, she moves from L.A. to Ashland, Oregon, prepared to defy the dismal weather and be rescued by Sam Shepard's twin. Instead, she finds an embittered 13-year-old girl with a fascination for fire, a job as Salad Girl at the local French restaurant, and an alarmingly cute actor who Sophie wished she didn't quite trust so much. Listeners will laugh and cry along with Sophie as she proves to the world and herself that she can recover from something devastating with darkly comic humor and her own type of class. Good Grief is the perfect audiobook for anyone who has ever been heartbroken, lost someone they've loved, or eaten too many Oreos.
Customer Reviews
Good Grief
Do you ever finish a book and wish you could call up the characters and actually hang out with them? That's how I felt after listening/reading to this book. It's heartbreaking and hilarious at the same time. It's a real story that could happen to any of us. The narrator is so good and making you feel like you are keeping pace with the actual events in the book as they happen. The story is great too. It addresses a topic that is so sad yet at the same time finds the humor and happiness in those times of sadness. I wish she would write more and release them!!!
