Reta Winters, 44 years of age, has started a new sort of life. She has discovered the meaning of loss for the first time. For all of her days, Reta has enjoyed the useful monotony of happiness: a loving family, good friends, growing success as a writer of light fiction, novels 'for summertime'. This placid existence cracks open one fearful day when her beloved eldest daughter, Norah, drops out to sit on a gritty street corner, silent but for the sign around her neck that reads 'GOODNESS'. Reta's search for what drove her daughter to such a desperate statement turns into an unflinching and surprisingly funny meditation on where we find meaning and hope. This 2002 Fourth Estate Paperback is in good condition. Some foxing. ISBN: 9780007139293 SKU: 1490566 Note: Any image shown is from a stock photo and is not the actual book.
