About the Book
Charlotte Goodman has had enough surprises.
In fact, she reached her life’s quotient when her husband of five months walked out on her, only to abruptly change his mind a few weeks later and move back in. Stung by a whiplash of grief, resentment, and confusion, Charlotte calls a time-out, taking a small apartment where she can figure out what she wants. Instead, the thought of making even the simplest choices triggers an anxiety attack. In order to get out of bed in the morning, she must concoct a to-do list for each day, The Plan, one with absolutely no surprises. Sure, it’s dangerous. Yeah, she could get hurt. But what’s a little physical pain when healing your soul is at stake? The question is: whether she’s on or off the track, will Charlotte be strong enough to stand on her own two feet?

I have long thought that Mother’s Day should be celebrated for more than a day. I think something like a month is in order. When you own a website, you can make that happen, even if your name is not Hallmark. Thus today we start our celebration of moms that will run through the week after Mother’s Day. Since the moms who are here are readers --- and those of you who celebrate them are readers as well --- we have a bookish celebration planned. We kick off with our Mother’s Day Basket of Books Contest. We will be giving away 15 baskets (up from our usual five), each filled with mom-pampering goodies and 12 books culled from the 36 featured mom-perfect titles. The way I see it, that is a book a month for mom! Read on for details, or click here. Check back Monday for a printable list of all our featured titles, which you can find on the contest pages.
