publishers Weekly

having Found Her Audience With Summer Island And On Mystic Lake, Hannah Returns With Another Second-chance-at-love Story, This One As Bleak As The Soggy Pacific Northwest Setting. Perimenopausal Former Artist Elizabeth Shore Is Feeling Lost And Miserable These Days, As Daughters Jamie And Stephanie Matriculate At Georgetown And Husband Jack Focuses On Jump-starting His Stalled Sports Broadcasting Career. So Elizabeth, Tellingly Nicknamed Birdie, Compulsively Redecorates Her Empty Nest And Pesters Jack With Lugubrious Questions About What’s Wrong With Their Lives. Then Jack Scores A Journalistic Coup, And In His Implausibly Meteoric Return To Broadcasting Glory, Winds Up In An Efficiency Apartment In New York City, Halfheartedly Fending Off The Advances Of Both A Nubile Assistant And A Hollywood Bombshell. Meanwhile, Back In Rainy Oregon, Birdie Grieves For Her Beloved Late Father, Joins A Support Group For Passionless Women, Starts To Paint Again And Talks To Herself In The Self-help Homilies Hannah Favors (no More Cheerleader Years For Me. I Need To Get In The Game). She Even Has A Rapprochement With Newly Widowed Stepmother Anita, Who, In A Particularly Explosive Burst Of Character Development, Somehow Transforms From A Tacky Southern Bette Midler On Speed To A White-haired Sylph Favoring Long, Flowing White Dresses. (when Birdie Finds Her Bliss, She Discovers She’s Miraculously Lost Weight.) Hannah’s Tried-and-true Formula Includes The Predictable Happy Ending, Complete With Life Lessons Tearfully Learned, But Only Hardcore Fans Will Make It To The Last Page Of This Dreary Soap. 6-city Author Tour.
