Description
A riveting novel in which an engaging and wildly irreverent woman is in complete denial--about herself, her drinking, and her love for a man she's known all her life. Hildy is a successful real-estate broker, good neighbor, mother, and grandmother. She's also a raging alcoholic. An exceptional novel that is at turns hilarious and sobering.
