Title: Humor, poignancy.........new understandings
Review: Myra Lipinsky is a middle-aged woman who has decided that she is okay with what her life has become, that she should be happy with the trade-offs she has made to attain the life that she is comfortable in. Her bedrock is shaken when her life as a home care nurse crosses paths with Chip Reardon, the person that she had a deep crush on in high school. As they both deal with where their lives are headed, their collision paths bring them both a new understanding and opportunity to readjust their views on living life fully. The vast company of characters the author creates gives the story both humor and poignancy. There is an earthiness and true grit that each character possesses in a unique but significant manner. From the main characters to those who revolve in and out of this tale, these qualities bring an intensity and an inner spark to his novel.
