Description
Getting a Life is about growing up, getting a grip, giving a damn. And it's about the many people, in most case strangers, who helped the author -- a flawed thirty-something grappling with her own life as a reporter -- finally to understand that there is no happy hearth waiting over some next hill. Home does not come in a bolt from heaven, nor is it some new gimmick on sale down at the mall. It's the way we live in the world every day, the plot of land that, side-by-side with others, we painstakingly tend. America's future depends upon citizens connecting and reclaiming the fundamentals at our nation's heart.
