Description
About the Book
Is she losing her mind or finding herself for the first time? Swapping her corporate laptop for a meditation mat, one woman embarks on a reluctant journey to find out.Book Synopsis
A compulsive overachiever, Madeline lives by the credo that easy is synonymous with mediocre--which is why, at forty-nine, she's a senior vice president at a prominent bank, frantically adheres to a five-step nightly face cream regimen, and panics anytime she's a foot away from her phone. Madeline works alongside her best friend, Emma--a master juggler of her own career, marriage, and motherhood to a fourteen-year-old daughter who speaks only in baffling acronyms. The path ahead for both women is brimming with opportunity. There's only one problem: Madeline is miserable. Seeking purpose in her life while trying to unravel the source of habits she wants to change, Madeline reluctantly agrees to try yoga, meditation, and other wacky suggestions her new-agey therapist tosses her way. She feels as if she's risking everything--but in doing so, she just might unlock a world more fulfilling than she ever could have imagined.Review Quotes
2024 IPPY Awards Bronze Winner in Popular Fiction
"There are plenty of laugh-wince moments to enjoy in this novel...Both an insightful depiction of therapy supporting growth and a dead-on skewering of corporate culture."
--Kirkus Reviews "Khristin Wierman has put on the boxing gloves and taken out the meditation candle to delve into the underbelly of the workplace and the choices it forces women to make. This thought-provoking page-turner captures the very real drama of working in corporate America as a woman."
--Arielle Eckstut, co-creator of America's Next Great Author "Funny, poignant, original, and memorable..."
--The Midwest Book Review
"A captivating novel from a great storyteller."
