She shares an immaculate house with her CEO husband, Mike, and their two teenagers, Nate and Lauren. It's a luxurious life, far from her homespun childhood on a farm in eastern Pennsylvania...which is why Ann is wary when her elderly parents ask to move in temporarily. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnn prepares in the way she knows best-hiring decorators and employing a full-time nurse for her dementia-stricken father. But nothing can prepare her for the transformations ahead. Soon, her mother Eileen is popping in to prepare soups and roasts in Ann's underused kitchen, while the usually surly Nate forms an alliance with his ailing grandfather. Lauren blossoms under Eileen's guidance, and even workaholic Mike finds time to attend high-school football games. But it's Ann who must make the biggest leap, and confront the choices and values that have kept her floating on life's surface for so long. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTimely, poignant, and wise, \u003ci\u003eThe Good Life\u003c\/i\u003e is a deeply satisfying and beautifully written story about the complex relationships between parents and children-and the gap that often lies between what we seek, and what will truly make us whole. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The moving story of a family's rebirth through the simple but profound acts of daily kindness and sacrifice.\" -Holly Chamberlin, author of \u003ci\u003eLast Summer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kensington Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780758281326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.53w x 0.97d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2013 pg. 40 - Very Good\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Susan Kietzman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36641857962140,"sku":"9780758281326","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_de525d89-9b37-4201-882a-9d6d703ae6fa.jpg?v=1603854101","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-good-life-9780758281326","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
