Deidre McIntosh became famous teaching women "to live simply, and simply live"-ironic for a woman who thrives on the chaos of a television career, and shares a home with her best friend, the one man she can count on-who happens to be gay. But when her Seattle cooking-and-lifestyle show gets bumped off the air, and her best guy moves in with his boyfriend, she's left trying to figure out the next segment. Seizing on a chance encounter with an attractive stranger, Deidre accepts his offer to use his country home. She hopes to get away for a while and learn to practice what she preaches. To appreciate life without voice mail. To gain the courage to start again, and take the first slow, cautious steps toward a new kind of success-and maybe even love. It seems like a simple task. But it may be the hardest thing she's ever done... 669465 6 2 2007 Good Things total:169|5:25|4:64|3:56|2:17|1:7| 169 590 315 49 5 2 false false Tue Jan 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 09:03:24 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 06 05:57:08 -0800 2009
