Elizabeth Berg writes like she is your girlfriend and she is telling you the story about someone she knows and cares greatly about.

As with all of her books, they touch upon the real human side of life. Betta Nolan's husband dies and she is faced with the propect of living alone. She decides to drive until she finds a place where she would like to live and sell her house in Boston and move to the new property.

She does find this little town and decides to look for a place to stay. As she is looking for a place she finds a house that is being sold and has the real estate agent show it to her. She falls in love with this house, it is just like one that her deceased husband and Betta talked about. As she lives in this town, she befriends some of the local people. Her next door neighbor is a little boy. The two of them become fast friends.

Betta "finds" her old college room mates and invites one to her house where they rekindle their old friendship. The other girls from their "group" are excited that they "found" their new friend, they had been looking for her for a long time. Betta has a little reunion with her friends and restores her friendship with them.

This books is very pleasing and enjoyable, and the characters, and the setting is all well described as only Elizabeth Berg can do. I would recommend this book to anyone.
