Newly divorced at thirty-two, her life has fallen apart beyond her ability to put it together again.

It's nothing like she wants, or expects, or anticipates. She doesn't anticipate the surprise summer blizzard, for example--or the blisters, or the rutting elk, or the mean pack of sorority girls. And she \u003ci\u003eespecially\u003c\/i\u003e doesn't anticipate that her annoying brother's even-more-annoying best friend, Jake, will show up for the exact same course--and distract her, derail her, and . . . kiss her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut it turns out sometimes disaster can teach you exactly the things you need to learn.
