Betsy Vereckey was thirty-seven and newly divorced when she rerouted her life from New York City to a tiny town in New Hampshire she knew virtually nothing about . except for the fact that it was her dog's hometown. A lot of people switch up their lives after a divorce, but not many of them drive a rental car north on I-91 with just a duffel bag and a Glen of Imaal terrier named Ronan in the backseat. Betsy's decision to move to Hanover was motivated by a desperate need for change-along with the fact that Mercury was no longer in retrograde and she'd been offered a "garden" apartment she could almost afford. But, as fate would have it, sometimes challenging circumstances and a cosmic hunch lead you right where you're meant to be. From the author of the essays "How my dog helped me find love again" (Newsweek), "Boy, what a fabulous baker" (NY Times Modern Love), "This recipe is the best thing I got from my divorce" and "What egg-freezing taught me about motherhood" (Washington Post) comes a relatable, funny, authentic, and inspiring memoir for anyone going through a transition, whether it's divorce or generally questioning the direction of their life. Taking a leap of faith to find your personal authenticity isn't wrong-it's the key to happiness.
