Uncomfortable with the fit of her life, now that she’s in the middle of it, Nan gets into her car and just goes–driving across the country on back roads, following the moon; and stopping to talk to people. Through conversations with women, men, with her husband through letters, and with herself through her diary, Nan confronts topics long overdue for her attention. She writes to her husband … and says things she’s never admitted before; and she discovers how the fabric of her life can be reshaped into a more authentic creation.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Elizabeth Berg’s Once Upon a Time, There Was You.

A book every woman middle age would really enjoy. Other ages as well, but women could really relate. Loved it!
This was an interesting take on a woman whose life had become predictable & stifling. I liked the concept of the writing from 2 perspectives: letters to her husband & the more honest journal entries.. Sometimes we can’t be totally honest with those we love the most…
I really liked the journal/letter format and the main character. It was a quick, engaging read. The ending seemed really abrupt and unmotivated.
Love it. Easy reading.
I learned a lot about my wife in reading this book. Author Elizabeth Berg has a wonderful, masterful way with words. She’s very observant of life. She can put into words the instances of life that most of us could vaguely describe, from how a snowflake drifts to its place to the way a husband and wife have breakfast together. I really enjoyed her …
