Produktbeschreibung

The award-winning, bestselling author takes readers on "a thrilling joy-ride through a week in the life of a self-made woman facing her deepest fears"(Sea and Be Scene). With all the wisdom, humor and joy we've come to expect from Sheree Fitch,Kiss the Joy as It Flies, first published in 2008, marked the well-loved author's move from children's literature to adult fiction. Set in the fictional Maritime town of Odell, with a cast of exasperating but lovable characters,Kiss the Joy as It Fliespromises to be a remarkable debut and a reader's favorite. Panic-stricken by the news that she needs exploratory surgery, forty-eight-year-old Mercy Beth Fanjoy drafts a monumental to-do list and sets about putting her messy life in order. Among other things (hide the vibrator!), she's determined to finally uncover the identity of her secret admirer; reconnect with long-lost friend and rival Teeny Gaudet; and, most importantly, get her hands on the note her father left before committing suicide all those years ago. But tidying up the edges of her life means the past comes rushing back to haunt her and the present keeps throwing up more to-dos. Between fits of weeping and laughter, ranting and bliss, Mercy must contemplate the meaning of life in the face of her own death. In a week filled with the riot of an entire life, nothing turns out the way she'd expected. "Kiss the Joy as It Fliesis funny and heartbreaking and thought-provoking and sometimes all three-and more-at once. Fitch made us wait a long time for her first novel, but it was worth it. It's a rare and lovely book." -January Magazine
