Excerpt from the Book
“Martha is in a tizzy—has been for a few days, as a matter of fact—and understandably, she’s not at all happy about it. After all, it's been a good ten years, since right after the death of her husband of thirty years and the marriage of her youngest child, that she set out to completely reinvent herself. And now here she is, falling apart, just like in the old days. Enough to make even a saint weep, is what she tells herself.
Knowing that old habits are notoriously hard to break, Martha had not taken on her reinvention process lightly. But she'd had a feeling that if she didn't make the effort then, when for the first time in her life she had the freedom and time to do exactly what she wanted, it would be too late. Besides, she'd felt confident that by getting both herself and her life organized and under control once and for all, she'd finally be able to enjoy what had evaded her all her life: peace of mind.”
