| Synopsis Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gail Caldwell crafts a moving tribute to her deceased friend Caroline Knapp, a fellow writer, dog lover, water-sport enthusiast, ex-drinker and free thinker. Caldwell and Knapp initially came together thanks to their beloved canines, who caused an impromptu introduction at a local dog park in 1996. Their first conversations revealed a number of synchronized issues and interests, and the two lonesome single women soon became fixtures in each other's lives, sharing vacations, engaging in therapeutic discussions, and encouraging one another to be more outgoing. Both women were recovering alcoholics (Knapp having written a memoir entitled DRINKING: A LOVE STORY), and unfortunately Knapp could not escape her unhealthy past, and she succumbed to lung cancer mere months after being diagnosed in 2002. Caldwell's eloquent eulogy to her companion will touch and inspire anyone seeking to become better versed in the fine art of friendship.
Publisher's Note In this gorgeous, moving memoir, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Gail Caldwell reflects on her own coming-of-age in midlife, as she learns to open herself to the power and healing of sharing her life with a best friend.
