false 14758 32 The Feller sisters are equal but opposite. Maggie is the good-looking, dyslexic little sister who knows how to get anything she wants--but not how to keep it. She "felt as if somewhere between the ages of fourteen and sixteen she'd walked off the edge of a cliff and had been falling ever since." Rose is the plump, practical, responsible older sister who knows about law but not much about her own happiness: "What did she like, besides shoes, and Jim, and foods that were bad for her?" When Maggie's latest eviction lands her in Rose's apartment, and Maggie insults Rose by seducing one of her sister's rare boyfriends, what follows is a chain of events by turns hilarious and heartbreaking. Embarrassed Rose evicts Maggie and begins a work sabbatical leading to a new livelihood and way of living. Maggie flees and runs away to Princeton. Masquerading as a student, she learns to love poetry and saves money for a trip to Miami--and a visit to a long-lost grandmother named Ella who might offer her a last shot at sanctuary. But <I>In Her Shoes</I>, the second novel from <I>Good in Bed</I> author Jennifer Weiner, is about more than the sisters' latest sibling rivalry; Maggie and Rose must sort out the childhood vulnerabilities and family mysteries that still linger two decades after their mother's death. In less capable hands, the plot might grow corny, but Weiner's humor and affection for the characters ultimately helps them transcend both neuroses and grief and learn the redemptive power of love. <I>--Jane Hodges</I> 964332 book 2002 In Her Shoes total:17839|5:3106|4:7028|3:6048|2:1413|1:244| 17839 64856 20996 1228 3 3 false false Tue Jan 20 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 21 13:04:08 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 21 13:09:46 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 2 false false Wed Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Tue Jul 03 22:44:45 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 03 22:45:49 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 2 false false Fri Feb 22 11:26:07 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 22 11:27:00 -0800 2008
