    About this ebook

    A successful Hollywood producer returns home to New Jersey after a couple of divorces and the subsequent burn-out that attends a high-voltage career. Her overly controlling parents think she back to piece her life back together under their tutelage, but they discover an angry, impatient woman who can't stand to be with them or their neighbor. She's got other plans than showing off her recent TV film and listening to her parents' direction about how to live her life. Her agenda includes an escape across the Atlantic on a 60-foot sloop with her brother, a hot young actress and the man she just couldn't forget. She finds that fixing your life by going backwards is more complicated than it seems.

      Grand Canal, Dublin, Ireland: 53.3309˚N 6.2588˚W. Even after she’d put her luggage in the tiny boot of the convertible, Deira still wasn’t sure if she was going to go through with it. Which was crazy, she told herself, because this was the easy bit.

      1. “I’ve been working on the translation nonstop—it’s like I’m in a trance,” Magdalena Edwards told me in early March 2017, while preparing a gin and tonic at her house in Santa Monica. I walked there from my place—we live very close to one another.
