  • "This is the tale of Amy, her daughter and the women in her family who helped them after Amy's husband abruptly left. It is a story of frequent failures and surprising successes, as Amy starts and loses careers, bumbles through blind dates and travels across the country with her daughter and their giant tabby cat. Though they live in London, Washington D.C., and Chicago, all roads lead back to Amy's hometown of Freeville, a tiny village in upstate New York. With kindness and razor-sharp wit, they welcome Amy and her daughter back weekend after weekend and summer after summer."
  • "The author recalls the women in her family who have influenced her life in small town America."
  • "Dickinson has made a career out of helping others, through her internationally syndicated advice column "Ask Amy." Readers love her for her honesty and for the fact that her motto is "I make the mistakes so you don't have to." Here, she shares those mistakes and her remarkable story."@en

  • "Five years ago, after an exhaustive search, the Chicago Tribune announced Amy Dickinson as the next Ann Landers. Readers love her for her brutal honesty, her small-town values, and the fact that her motto is: "I make the mistakes so you don't have to." Now Amy spins those mistakes into the remarkable story of the women in her family who helped Amy and her daughter after Amy's husband abruptly left them."
  • "Dear Amy, First my husband told me he didn't love me. Then he said he didn't think he had ever really loved me. Then he left me with a baby to raise by myself. Amy, I don't want to be a single mother. I told myself I'd never be divorced. And now here I am--exactly where I didn't want to be! My daughter and I live in London. We don't really have any friends here. What should we do' Desperate Dear Desperate, I have an idea. Take your baby, get on a plane, and move back to your dinky hometown in upstate New York--the place you couldn't wait to leave when you were young. Live with your sister in the back bedroom of her tiny bungalow. Cry for five weeks. Nestle in with your quirky family of hometown women--many of them single, like you. Drink lots of coffee and ask them what to do. Do your best to listen to their advice but don't necessarily follow it. Start to work in Washington, DC. Start to date. Make friends. Fail up. Develop a career as a job doula. Teach nursery school and Sunday School. Watch your daughter grow. When she's a teenager, just when you're both getting comfortable, uproot her and move to Chicago to take a job writing a nationally syndicated advice column. Do your best to replace a legend. Date some more. Love fiercely. Laugh with abandon. Grab your second chance--and your third, and your fourth. Send your daughter to college. Cry for five more weeks. Move back again to your dinky hometown and the women who helped raise you. Find love, finally. And take care. Amy."@en
