Some signs are hard to ignore... others you don't see until it's too late...and some guide you right where you need to be.

Ruby takes her stolen car as a sign that she and her family need to move away from the hustle and bustle of New York city. At first she finds it difficult to get to know her new neigbors and her husband is constantly away on business. If it wasn't for her new friend Ariel, another transplanted New Yorker, Ruby would be about ready to give it all up. And then life takes an unexpected turn, leaving Ruby and her children in a far-from-familiar place.

By turns witty and insightful, Roz Bailey's novel is chock full of adventure as she copes with first the move from New York, and then with the ups-and-downs of her new life and new-found fame when she publishes her new novel, which her agent is excited about but her old publisher wants nothing to do with.

Never a dull moment passes while reading this story that takes an honest (if at times, all too revealing) look at marriage and family.

Recommended for readers of chick lit ages 16 and up.
