Amy Dickinson opens her life again in this follow-up to her bestselling memoir about Freeville. The syndicated advice columnist pulls readers behind the scenes of her "Ask Amy" column to reveal what drives her work. She chronicles finding love later in life and navigating the complexities of stepparenting. Dickinson confronts her struggles with disordered eating and shares the final days with her dying mother. Through linked essays, she examines romance, death, parenting, self-care, and spiritual growth. Her signature humor cuts through difficult moments as she explores the challenges that come with life's unexpected turns. This memoir speaks to anyone who has faced major transitions and sought meaning in the aftermath of change.
