Publisher's Summary:
Acclaimed artist Elaine Gordon can't believe her loving husband is gone. After a lifetime spent utterly devoted to her soul mate and their marriage, Elaine is now tetherless, faced with widowhood and all the decisions that come with it - not least of which is what to do with her rambling, now-empty family home.
Anxious to console their mother in her time of grief, Elaine's four grown children urge her to put everything on hold and spend some healing time with them. But visiting each unique and complicated child opens Elaine's eyes to the fact that the children she raised have become adults she hardly knows: Sarah, who abandoned Western life for an orthodox enclave in Jerusalem; Lisa, Sarah's accomplished twin and polar opposite, who will do anything for a child of her own; Peter, trapped in a hollow marriage in California; and Denis, the youngest, who just wants Elaine to accept his gay lifestyle.
As Elaine tries to bridge the physical and emotional miles, her eyes are opened to the startling truths of her own family, and what she must do to come to terms with her kids' lives - and a future that's completely, wonderfullyhers.

Amazing
Excellent story line. Love the ability to read take a break and ability to come back to it without forgetting what you read. Busy life with not a lot of opportunity to sit and read.
Chick Lit for Grandmothers
This book is one step above a harlequin romance. It is filled with trite characters, trite scenes and an unbelievable marriage. The author uses $50 words where a $5 word will do. She loves using the word "sere", for example ,when that will mean nothing to the average reader who selects her book. One saving grace is that the 487 pages are in larger than average print and thus will take half as long to read. She knows her reader is an older woman.
Five Stars
Good vintage Gloria Goldreich.
Open Doors
The book fascinated me from its preview. It is exactly where I seem to be at this stage of my life. In addition, I have spoken to many other widows with very similar situations. Not exactly a problem but yet could become one with the wrong decision. I could feel for her. Made me feel like I'm not alone with a similar problem...what to do. I enjoyed the book and found it very easily to put myself in the character of the widow. Arlene Angel
