A New York Times Bestseller, A Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club, Doubleday Book Club, Literary Guild and the Lifestyle Club -- Five years ago, after an exhaustive search, the Chicago Tribune announced Amy Dickinson as the next Ann Landers. Readers love her for her brutal honesty, her small-town values, and the fact that her motto is: "I make the mistakes so you don't have to." Now Amy spins those mistakes into the remarkable story of the women in her family who helped Amy and her daughter after Amy's husband abruptly left them.
