I really enjoyed reading this book. At first I was afraid it was going to be a woe is me husband bashing book but it isn't that way at all. Joan Anderson, like many women in their forties and fifties begins to reflect on how much of herself she's given to others and in doing so how much she has given up, of and for herself. Her sons have married, her husband has taken a new job which requires him to relocate. After some thought and reflection she decides she will not move with him but instead, take some time alone to reflect on the life she's lived and the person she has become. Fortunately for her she just happens to have a cottage on Cape Cod where she can go to do this. Fortunately for all of us who don't have the luxury of moving to a beach house, through this book we are able to see some of the same patterns in our own lives and begin to look at the way we live and begin do things a little differently. Taking, even if they are small steps, steps non the less to make ourselves happier and healthier. As wives, mothers, and everything in between we often neglect to do things for ourself. This book encourages you to rediscover the person you dreamed you would be, reminding you your life is unfinished, keep moving like the tide.Read full review
After having read two other books by Joan Anderson ( A Walk on the Beach and An Unfinished Marriage) I had to purchas this one as well since I've enjoyed them all so so much. I actually haven't read this one yet but have no doubt it's as good as the others and would highly reccomend these books to anyone as an easy read and very enjoyable. I had gotten away from reading at all for many years and these books got me interested in reading more again.
A book that makes you think you should value yourself.

I loved everything about it.I could place myself there and really be her.The Cape is my most favorite place on earth.I do wish the book was longer.Anything todo with the Cape or New England or women's issues I always stop and give a second look at.It's a great little book I recommend it to all my friends and they've gone out and bought it.I Loved It!!!
The author tells a story about her life stuggles as she finds her way back to herself. It mirrors my thoughts exactly. I am truly inspired.
