opens with Days of the Week underwear and closes with a forty-year-old secret that refuses to stay submerged.
Thirty-four-year-old Vivi Tyler is living her nightmare: gay husband, self-harming teenager, melodramatic mother. They’re picking apart her sanity, one stitch at a time. She’s crawling along rock bottom when the arrival of a mysterious package opens a new door to a new country. A … opens a new door to a new country. A desperate Vivi dives headfirst into the quicksand that is Greece — her parents’ birthplace.
But it’s a paradise far from perfect, and instead of the new beginning she covets, Vivi discovers trouble is determined to keep her in its pocket. Soon she’s fighting for her daughter’s life in a Greek hospital, clashing with her Greek relatives, and cobbling together an inadequate cage around her heart, lest she fall for an unavailable man.
Before this story ends, somebody will be dead. And if some people are to be believed, this particular death is a good thing. A blessing, of sorts….

Stupid
Really enjoying this series and LOVE the way author writes. The interruptions for explanations are PERFECT! Recommend whole series though 6 is too short. We need MORE women of Greece!
Loved this book!
Spelling and grammatical errors were distracting. Light read.
A glimpse into a different culture, interesting characters. The main characters grow and learn thing about themselves.
Just an overall good read. I wish Book Bob would have more of these types of books available for free. With being unemployed it sure does help.
I loved how “running away to one’s dream” revealed scenarios that showed escaping to another place doesn’t eliminate the problems you hope to flee from. It just changes the scenery.
Interesting setting and plot.
Enjoyable , fun book
I liked the characters, and loved the descriptions of scenery and cultures. A bit predictable
This was just a fun read.
This paragraph pretty much sums up the whole story
“Someone kills herself on your land, your mother goes to jail, you go to jail, you take a beating from your cousin, and what do you do? You tell me life is good.”
“You forgot the part where my ex-husband is gay and my daughter tried to kill herself.”
This was such a delighting read, I loved …
Best book I read this year. Enjoyed thoroughly.
NOt my style/
This book was okay…hard to believe someone from America would move to Greece, ancestors or not, to live in something less than what we’re used to in the U.S.
This was a modern mostly fun book about family, roots and the eye opening combination of them.
Good book. If you liked My Big Fat Greek Wedding you will like this book.
Confusing
Multiple plots held my interest. Especially liked Treatment of heroine’s mother! Introduction to quirky Greek culture.
A terrific treasure…very refreshing
